School Improvement and Governance: Change Starts from the Top
Governance professionals Emma Perkin and Ruth Agnew joined us in the School Improvement Theatre at the Schools & Academies Show London in April 2022, where they discussed the key principles of leadership of governance and how this drives school improvement.
Their session focuses on the following key areas:
- Uprooting our common understanding of governance to empower governors as engines for change rather than a system of checks and balances
- Taking a literal interpretation for change: The value and timeliness of revitalising governance and best practice guidance for recruiting new governors.
- Ensuring that leaders are susceptible to change by encouraging a culture of open discussion and embracing healthy criticism from governors
Speakers:
- Emma Perkin, Co-Founder, Trust Governance Professionals
- Ruth Agnew, Head of Governance, Co-Op Academies Trust
