The School Governance Study - University of Bath

Over the past 20 years, the English school system has changed substantially and the work of schools is now more complicated and demanding. These changes have important implications for school governing and are likely to further complicate the management of schools in the future. A study of school governing is therefore timely and appropriate.

The School Governance Study took place between April and September 2008. Its aims
were:

  • To review the arrangements for school governance and propose improvements;
  • Review the business contribution of governors;
  • To analyse what can be learned from the business and human/public service sectors about governance and how those insights might enhance school governance.

The study was commissioned by the Business in the Community Education Team and was funded by Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, and includes a foreword from Barry O'Brien who is a partner at the organisation.
