School governance update from the ESFA

6 November 2019

The ESFA recently published their school governance update which covered various topics. It is intended that an update is provided monthly and separate guidance is provided for academy trusts and local authority maintained schools.

The academies update starts with a message from Lord Agnew, Minister for the Schools System, emphasising the importance of strong governance in the sector. The update then goes on to cover the following themes:

  • Making governance resources more accessible
  • Recent funding announcements
  • Academies Financial Handbook 2019
  • Understanding your data
  • Support for governing boards to reduce workload
  • Keeping children safe in education

It is worth reading the update in order to ensure that your Trust is maintaining high governance standards.
