Today is School Governors’ Awareness Day and we want to take a moment to recognise the outstanding dedication of the volunteers who give their time, experience and care to provide more for our community.

Their influence is felt in classrooms, corridors and communities every day and help to shape an inclusive education system that supports the best outcomes for every learner.
