Synopsis

Ofsted has found that not being sufficiently strategic is the most common failing of governing bodies. Yet, their most important role is shaping the direction of the school. This publication looks at the different reasons why governors have problems in this area and shows them how, with only a little effort, they can find realistic and viable solutions. It: explains the theory of strategic governance, with reference to official documents; shows, with real-life examples and the help of various tools, how to translate theory into practice in governing a school; makes particular reference to the many new challenges facing schools; guides governors in how to establish direction for both the short, medium and long terms; and explains how to draw up effective plans.
