NGA 13th Annual School Governance Survey – have your say

The National Governance Association (NGA) survey is the only regular, comprehensive source of information on the views, demographics, and experiences of the largest volunteer force in England.

The NGA understands that those governing schools and trusts have significant knowledge and understanding of education issues as they are responsible for overseeing financial performance, making strategic decisions, holding executive leaders accountable for the performance of pupils and engaging with community stakeholders. Therefore, their participation in this survey is crucial to provide valuable insights into the state of governance in the education sector.

Key themes examined through the survey include:

• Governance workload
• School and trust finance
• The challenges facing schools and trusts
• Recruitment and retention of staff
• Ofsted
• Pupil success and wellbeing.

All responses will remain anonymous and contributions will help the NGA campaign on the issues that matter, amplify the voice of school governance across the education sector and improve the support they – and others – offer to governing boards.

The survey is now live and open until Tuesday 30 May at 9 am. Members and non-members are invited to have their say.
