Jane Owens has numerous years of experience as a school governor and Chair of Governors. She is also a National Leader of Governance (NLG).
In this blog, she discusses why we should become governors and offers advice on what a governor should do.
At the core, a governor should want the best for their school and its pupils so she argues that a governor should not be passive and should always be learning more to share with their headteacher.
