The A-Z of Good Governance is a special source of advice and reflection for every school leader, governor and trustee, organised around the 26 letters of the English alphabet._____________________________________________________________________'What impresses in so many boards is that members turn up very well prepared, having read papers in advance, often annotating them with questions and points for clarification. Naturally some governors are more interested in finance or buildings or human resources, based on their own skills-set.
