You've evaluated your school. You know where you are and where you need to go. Your school development plan is ready — your direction is clear.
But what about your governors? Is their roadmap just as clear?
Governors have a genuine role in school development — but it's a strategic one, not an operational one. That distinction blurs easily in practice, and it's often where governance loses its focus, pulled into the detail of the development plan rather than holding it to account from a distance.
This Framework gives governing boards that clarity. It guides their work so they can fulfil the role actually required of them: supportive, challenging, strategic. It keeps statutory duties in view, tracks that they're being met, and shows exactly where the evidence sits.
It's a working document — one that lets an inspector see, at a glance, that governance is effective. Mine was praised at inspection as outstanding.
Built to work for any school, with space to add your own priorities where they matter. Nothing escapes attention, and nothing goes undocumented.

Cross-referencing of your key policies to identify contradictions, gaps and inconsistencies. A summary report of what needs updating and why. Schools are often unaware how far their policy landscape has drifted — inspectors aren't.
