Improving school performance: A guide for school governors

The National Audit Office (NAO) has reported on school performance and recognises the contribution that governing bodies can make to improving and maintaining standards. Improving school performance: A guide for school governors has been prepared as a reference tool to help governors to identify and tackle the issues that the NAO has found to be important to school performance.

The guide contains 13 sections with advice and suggestions for governors on areas including:

  • School self-evaluation
  • Managing staff sickness
  • Pupil attainment, attendance and behaviour
  • Financial management
  • School facilities.

Each area contains:

  • Key questions for governing bodies
  • Facts and figures that give an insight into what's happening across the country
  • Good practice.

Additional hard copies of the guide for school governors are available free of charge. To order copies, please provide your school's or LA's name and address to [email protected] or call 020 7798 7060, stating how many copies you would like.

 Further information about the NAO is available from their website.
