Foundation and Trust Schools - a toolkit for governors
NCOGS (National Co-ordinators of Governor Services) and FASNA (Foundation and Aided Schools National Association) have produced a Decision Making Toolkit on Foundation and Trust School Status for governors. The Toolkit provides basic information about the options, links to more detailed information and guidance on the sort of structured discussions that governors should have as they consider whether foundation or trust status is right for their school. The materials are designed for use by governors although some of the activities will benefit from external facilitation.
