Governor Support Service

Effective governance provides strategic direction and control to schools, academies and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs). It creates robust accountability, oversight and assurance for their educational and financial performance and is ambitious for all children and young people to achieve the very best outcomes. We offer a selection of packages, which include clerking, training, advice and support for governors.

Leeds Governor Support is a team of knowledgeable, experienced governance experts. We work in close partnership with School Improvement Advisers, Finance, HR, Leeds Children’s Safeguarding Board and Legal Services to provide comprehensive high quality support and development for governance boards. We draw on an extensive network of experienced governance professionals and external bodies (National Co-ordinator of Governor Services, The National College and the Department for Education) to ensure the very latest advice, support and training is available to our schools and academies. Our professional clerking service ensures compliance and supports governance boards to understand their role, functions and legal duties.
