Share your views in the annual school governance survey (132 words)

School governors, trustees and local governing body members/local academy committee members are encouraged to share your experience of volunteering, views on topical education policy and governing board’s practice in the annual governance survey. Whatever your role on the governing board, however long you have been involved in governance, the National Governance Association welcome the contribution of all governance volunteers.

Your answers will shape campaigns on issues that matter to you, amplify the voice of school governance across the education sector, and improve the support on offer to governing boards. Please share it with others on your governing board and your wider networks. Depending on the answers you give, the survey will take around 20 minutes to complete. The survey is open until Monday 30 May at 9am. Complete the survey at https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/NGAsurvey2022-localpartners/

    Dear colleague,

    NGA is looking forward to working with your local association to ensure that reformed NLG support enhances the work and support you already provide to schools and trusts. We will be in touch shortly with further details of the programme.

    Applications opened today to recruit the new NLG cohort. Find out more at www.nga.org.uk/nlg.
