School Governance

Professional Development Opportunities 2025-26 -> School Governance

Governors are the key strategic decision-makers in schools and therefore have a vital role in improving and sustaining school and pupil performance, ensuring that resources are used well to give every child and young person the best possible education. Governors work in partnership with the principal to ensure that pupils have every opportunity to develop their skills and talents to their full potential, within a caring and stimulating learning environment.

More information for school governors, and for principals as secretary to the Board of governors can be found under our School Governors Section on the EA website.

EA provides training for governors across a wide range of topics linked to governors’ roles and responsibilities. The programme is open to all governors and comprises a mix of webinars, face-to-face events, and opportunities for individual, on-line learning. Full details are shared with schools each term, and can be accessed by clicking the tile below
