Sheffield Schools Need Governors
It’s official – school governors do make a significant difference, according to both Ofsted and the Government. As a Governor you would help to set the strategic direction of the school and, in the role of Critical Friend, offer both challenge and support to school leaders and hold them to account for the progress of children and young people.
