As a school we recognise that a diversity of thought, voices and perspectives is essential to good governance and the effective running of any organisation. We regularly collect diversity information from our governors and depending on current data, can use this to:
- target recruitment to address gaps in exprerience and diversity
- develop and adapt board practices to ensure full participation
- prioritise training and awareness-raising in identified areas
- address potential 'blind spots' through seeking wider advice and perspective on current and upcoming opportunities, challenges and risks
However, we are unable to publish this information as it would mean that individual members of the governing body are identifiable.
