External Review of Governance

At educationRnR, we understand the critical role that effective governance plays in the success of schools. Our founder, having been in school governance since 2009, has created a dedicated External Reviews of Governance (ERG) service that is designed to provide schools with a comprehensive evaluation of their governance structures and practices. With our expertise and tailored approach, we help schools enhance their governance functions to ensure optimal performance and accountability.

Expert Evaluation

• Our team of seasoned professionals, with extensive experience in school governance, will conduct a thorough review of your governance practices. We provide objective, evidence-based insights that highlight strengths and areas for improvement.

Tailored Recommendations

• Every school is unique, and so are its governance needs. We offer customised recommendations that align with your school's specific context, helping you implement best practices and achieve your strategic goals.

Improved Accountability

• Strengthening governance structures enhances transparency and accountability. Our ERG service ensures that your school’s governance is robust, compliant with regulatory requirements, and aligned with best practices.

Enhanced Performance

• Effective governance leads to better decision-making, which ultimately improves school performance. By identifying and addressing governance issues, we help your school operate more efficiently and effectively.

Initial Consultation

• We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your school's context, challenges, and goals. This allows us to tailor our review to your specific needs.

Document Review

• Our experts will review key governance documents, including board minutes, policies, and strategic plans. This helps us gain a comprehensive understanding of your current governance practices.

Interviews and Surveys

• We conduct interviews and surveys with key stakeholders, including board members, senior leaders, and other relevant parties. This provides us with valuable insights into the effectiveness of your governance structures and practices.

Observation

• Where possible, we observe board meetings and other governance activities to assess the dynamics and effectiveness of your governance in action.

Analysis and Reporting

• Our team analyses the collected data to identify strengths and areas for improvement. We compile our findings into a detailed report, providing clear and actionable recommendations.

Feedback Session

• We present our findings and recommendations to your board and senior leadership team. This interactive session ensures that our recommendations are understood and can be effectively implemented.

Follow-Up Support

• Post-review, we offer ongoing support to help your school implement the recommendations. This includes follow-up consultations, additional training, and resources to ensure sustained improvements.

Effective governance is essential for the strategic direction and overall success of any educational School, Academy or Trust. Governors and Trustees provide critical oversight, support, and accountability, ensuring that the school meets its educational goals and operates efficiently. By gaining external validation, you can enhance your school's leadership, drive improvement and achieve long-term success.
