School governors play a vital role in shaping the educational landscape. They support school leaders, challenge and drive improvements, and make strategic decisions that impact staff and students. Their voluntary commitment is the backbone of school development, ensuring that every child receives the highest quality education.

At Derventio Education, we are incredibly proud of our team members who go above and beyond to make a difference. Their work in governance not only strengthens our connection with schools but also ensures that we remain closely aligned with the needs of educators and students.

As we celebrate National School Governors Awareness Day, we extend our gratitude to all school governors across the country for their tireless dedication to education. Your work truly makes a difference!
