Let’s celebrate school governors and their hard work!
Created by Strictly Education, today is known as National School Governors’ Awareness Day to raise awareness of governance in schools and recognise the valuable contribution that governors and trustees make to improve teaching and learning. To educate, celebrate and inspire, there will be a series of free events throughout the day to support those in governance across the country.
