Qualifications and Disqualifications to serve as a School Governor
Governing Board Diversity
The governors of Butlers Court School believe it is important that our board reflects the diversity of the school community we serve. We recognise that diverse boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and young people.
We annually collect data on the diversity of the board, including data on age, gender and ethnicity using the Governing Board Diversity Form provided by the National Governors Association. We use this data to inform the recruitment and training needs of the board and ensure that there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making.
Due to our relatively small governing body we do not publish this diversity data online as individual governors could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
