The Chairs' Handbook

The Chairs' Handbook

This new NGA Guide aims to help Chairs with their role – especially newly appointed Chairs.

The handbook covers all the elements of a Chair’s role including:
  • Taking the Chair – elections, leading the team, running meetings, voting, expenses,
  • Working with the Headteacher – roles and responsibilities, performance management,
  • Working with the Local Authority, Diocese or Trust – powers and duties, the governing body as the employer
  • Working with the Clerk – appointing a clerk, minutes and records
A governing body Chair is at times a leader, a confidante, a manager and a critical friend; it is no exaggeration to say that the success or failure of a governing body depends heavily on the calibre of its Chair. This new NGA Guide aims to help Chair’s with that role – especially newly appointed Chairs.
