About the Book

The School-Ready Governor is a practical and insightful guide to the fundamentals of school governance for new and aspiring governors, and includes the history, frameworks, theory and practice. Healthy governance is fundamental to effective school leadership, but how deeply is governance really understood? This book digs into what governance actually is and will help aspiring school leaders, new governors and new trustees for all schools and phases to grapple with their strategic role and gain confidence in how best to support their school. The School-Ready Governor contains clear and insightful explanations relating to key aspects of governance, with case studies, reflective questions and takeaway summaries throughout. The book is broken down into five sections, each exploring a key aspect of governance: - A history of governance and governance theory - Setting a vision and ways of working, exploring more diverse governance and inclusive practice - The practicalities of governance, such as key documentation, communication and school improvement - Key knowledge, behaviours and practice, including HR and personnel, staff wellbeing and safeguarding - Essential aspects of a school, including curriculum and pedagogy, assessment and data, finance and resourcing, and risk management. Written by an experienced school leader and governor, this book is perfect for anyone considering a move into primary or secondary school leadership or school governance.

Review :
The School-Ready Governor is an insightful, practical, and highly readable guide, offering essential advice for school governance. If you are a governor or a school leader looking to make a difference this book is highly recommended. The School-Ready Governor is an extraordinary book, almost certainly not what you might expect. It's neither a manual, nor a checklist, nor a day-to-day companion for those new to the role. It's something else entirely, something deeper, more vibrant and endlessly enquiring. It's a searching for the spirit and senses of good governance, an understanding that governors are at their best 'being like the moon, pulling at the tides, changing the tidelines'. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Governance is complex so who better than Rebecca Leek, who declares herself ‘comfortable with complexity’, to tackle this important subject. This is a book I read in one sitting because it is a gem! Informative, thought provoking, and practical, I found myself nodding along, reflecting on how useful this would be to anyone leading schools today. Buy it for the school governors in your life! This is a must-read for anyone stepping into the world of school governance, whether as a seasoned professional or a first-time governor. Rebecca's approach is empowering, clear and ultimately hopeful about the role governance plays in shaping schools and, by extension, the futures of children. Highly recommended for educators and trustees alike.
