After many months of hard work, we’re finally live! Our team of consultants work with Governors at over 1,400 schools and our aim is to share our experience and expertise with you through our new Better Governor website. If you are curious about us and want to know who we are and what we do, you can watch our short videos. Amanda Peck, an academy governor , and Steve Barker, our Head of Governance Consultancy, will introduce our vision for the Better Governor website and briefly talk through the resources that will be available to you. Why not let us know if there is a subject you would like to see featured and we’ll do our best to push it up our priority list.

Staffing

Governing Bodies have wide ranging responsibilities relating to staffing in schools, which can vary between maintained schools and academies. They range from, ensuring schools have an appropriate policy framework in place that complies with education and employment law, to Headteacher Appraisal and Performance Related Pay. This area of the Better Governor website contains articles and guidance documents focusing on school HR issues, written by governors, for governors to ensure you are up-to-date with current legislation and best practice.
