Governors & Governors Online

Helping support the role of school governors

Designed for ease of use and maximum flexibility, One Governors simplifies the administrative work of the Governors Support Team. Comprehensive details of appointments, vacancies and other key data can be easily accessed from within One, saving time for the team.

Saving time

Using One Governors, a complete record of appointed school governors is available. If a new governor is appointed who is a parent or a member of school staff then relevant existing details can be automatically drawn from within One. The system enables individuals to serve on multiple governing bodies, which can be linked to one or more schools, saving time for authority staff and reducing the need to re-enter data.

Supporting the role of the clerk to the governing body

Governors Online enables clerks to upload a variety of documentation online to update the governors’ handbook which can then be accessed via any PC with an internet link. The need to print paper copies is reduced and governors always have online access to the most up-to-date information regarding their role. This saves time for authority staff by reducing the need for clerks to contact authorities directly. Task timelines within the system help ensure the timely distribution of meeting agendas and minutes. Specific tasks are colour-coded to highlight their urgency, helping clerks to develop more efficient working practices.

Simple management of training

Through Training Manager Online, governors can search and apply for appropriate training courses online. Details of courses taken and any qualifications gained are automatically visible on the individual’s records, saving administrative time for authority staff and providing them with a full history of governors’ training.
