Stronger Governance Systems (SGS) is a professional development programme designed to enable practice in governance to improve. The materials are designed to be used flexibly by school improvement partners (SIPs), National Challenge Advisers (NCA), LA advisers and headteachers with the governors through short, focused development activities to bring about rapid change and improvement in governance.
There is no expectation that governors will need to work through every section of the programme, although this is one possible approach. The programme is designed to facilitate governors exploring and using those sections that are directly appropriate to their development needs as identified through use of the quality standards self-assessment materials. In addition SIPs and NCAs and their governing bodies can draw on support from a National Strategies School Improvement Regional Adviser (SI RA) to support training in and delivery of elements of the programme.
The implementation and use of the programme is based around a quality management framework. A set of quality standards is provided to help governors be more able to recognise what quality governance looks like and then work towards achieving this in their strategic role in school improvement.

I saw a copy of this publication shown to me by our SIP. I am keen to have a paper copy because I would like to also have the CD Rom that is also included.
When will it be available, please?

Hi Fiona,
Thanks for your question. I don't have an immediate answer for you with regard to the CD Rom, but I will see what I can find out for you.
Thank you
