NGA’s annual school governance survey 2020
Thank you for taking the time to add your voice to this survey of those governing across England. For the last 10 years, NGA has been running an annual survey of governors and trustees in England to gain an insight into who governs our schools and why and how they do it. The responses play a crucial role in shaping the representation of, and support available for, governing boards.
This survey should take around 15 minutes to complete depending on your answers and all responses will remain anonymous. If you are unsure of any answers, please do not feel that you have to look up or ask for information, we have provided a ‘don’t know’ option for these purposes and it is possible to skip some questions. You can also save your answers if you need to take a break and return to finish off your response at a later date.
The deadline for completing the survey is Tuesday 26 May 2020.
If you would like any further information on the survey, please contact research@nga.org.uk to speak with our research and information officer, Hannah Garrington.
School governors, trustees and local academy committee members – we want to learn about your experience of being on a governing board, your views on education and current events, and your governing board practice, including how you and your board are supporting schools during this uncertain time.
Depending on the answers you give, the survey will take around 15 minutes to complete. Once you have started the survey, you can save and return to your answers whenever you like before submitting them. The survey closes on Tuesday 26 May at 5.00pm.
Whatever your role on the governing board, however long you’ve been involved in governance, we value the views and experience of all school governance volunteers in England. Please do share the survey with your network.
Your answers to our annual survey – now in its tenth year – will make a significant contribution to what is known and understood about school governance in England. We’ll use the results to campaign on the issues that matter to you, amplify the voice of school governance across the education sector, and improve the support we – and others – offer to governing boards.
Although this survey is for school governance volunteers, we appreciate the support of clerks and other governance professionals in sharing it with their boards, schools and network.
