MP Supports School Governor Charity

As schools prepare to return back after an extended break due to Covid-19, places for School Governors are opening up. National education charity ?Governors for Schools' have contacted Jon Cruddas MP as schools across Dagenham and Rainham are in need of committed and skilled volunteers.

Raising the quality of school governing boards improves the educational opportunities for young people. The expected challenges schools and young people will face following the pandemic mean that in the coming months schools will need assistance from effective governance more than usual.

The role of a governing board is to assist the strategic direction of a school, this can mean addressing financial issues and holding key stakeholders to account. A strong and diverse governing board leads to better educational outcomes for children, which is why people from all professional backgrounds are welcomed into the role.
