Governing Chatters – we like a chat in GovernanceHQ – chatting with a purpose! Join us for the latest news and views that affect governors, trustees and clerks of state schools in England.
Christmas is a time for reflection, today we are going to look back on what we have learnt from the seminars, reflect on where we are with Covid and the impact on the sector. We are also going to look at what we have learnt from such a strange year and with a sense of optimism(?) look ahead to what 2021 might contain.

Schools are open and children in the main are returning to school thanks to the efforts of senior leaders, staff and governors. It has been a remarkable effort to get everything ready.
That effort can come at a cost and today we want to focus on leadership, the headline findings from our latest annual governance survey on leadership as well as the recruitment, well-being, appraisal and development of leaders.
As we start a new academic year, schools returning fully for the first time since lockdown, we look at some of things NGA has been up to during August.
Emma Knights, Sam Henson and Emma Balchin look at the Annual Governance Survey, Skills Audits and Board reflection as well as the implications of the student grade decisions made during August.
Well, that has been a busy summer term, it has been testament to the strength of boards and senior leadership along with their staff that we have come through the lockdown the way we have.
August is a chance for us all to take stock of where we are, look ahead to the new academic year and look at the big strategic issues we face..
