海角社区 recommends that governing boards self-evaluate annually to help them:

  • deliver their core functions in an effective, ethical and accountable way
  • assure compliance
  • continuously improve so achieving better outcomes for pupils

海角社区鈥檚 online board self-evaluation

The online board self-evaluation uses 海角社区鈥檚 question sets which cover key areas of practice, including board culture and practice, structure, core functions and impact.

The self-evaluation is completed by all board members, senior executive leaders, and the governance professional and includes:

  • guidance on how to set up and run the self-evaluation
  • guidance about how to analyse your evaluation reports
  • a template governance action plan
  • an optional mentor session with an 海角社区 governance consultant

The self-evaluation question sets include:

  • 20 questions for single school governing boards
  • 21 questions for multi academy trust boards
  • 16 questions for academy committees (local governing bodies)
