Greener Governance

Greener Governance

Greener Governance aims to encourage and equip all governing boards to employ a whole school approach to environmental sustainability.  

Visible Governance in Schools

School and trust governance must be more visible within the education sector and within society. NGA is planning a year of celebrating the power of governance, the people that volunteer for the role and the value that good governance brings to the schools system.

Educators on Board

Educators on Board

Governing boards can benefit from the experience and expertise of education professionals. With the support of education organisations, we are encouraging education professionals to govern in a different school.

Everyone on Board

Governors and trustees from ethnic minorities account for just 4% of the country’s largest volunteer force, whilst 11% governors and trustees are aged under 40 according to the annual school governance survey 2020.

Ethical Leadership in Education

“The nation trusts us to form young people into the best that they can be. The public expects us to know what kind of example we should set them, but do we? How do we know what’s right or wrong?” 

Spotlight on Disadvantage

NGA’s Spotlight on Disadvantage campaign is informed by a new NGA research report undertaken to explore the governing board’s role in spending, monitoring and evaluating the pupil premium.

Alongside governing boards across the country, NGA is campaigning to secure the additional funding needed by schools and their governing boards in order to ensure that children and young people receive the standard of education they deserve.
