Toolkit for governors

Welcome

These pages offer a toolkit and resources to help you find, develop and keep good headteachers. The materials will help you put together a plan of action that is appropriate for your school.

We strongly encourage you to work with your local authority, diocese and with other governors and schools in your area to make sure you have the future leaders you need. Local areas require solutions tailored to their context; and the best people to do this are those who know the context well. The resources on these pages will help you facilitate those discussions.
