Governance Recognition Programme

We are delighted to have a framework for providing a system of recognising and thanking governors and governance professionals/clerks for their significant contributions and impact in their governance roles across Surrey maintained schools and/or academies. We want to honour those who have demonstrated a substantial contribution to school leadership to improve outcomes for Surrey children and young people.

The nominations are considered by a panel twice termly in Autumn and Spring and once termly in Summer.
