The Birmingham Governors' Network

The Birmingham Governors’ Network has a significant role in supporting governors throughout the city.

Under the management of an executive group, the Network is committed to ensuring that governors’ views are represented on the vital issues which are shaping the Education Service. It is committed to helping empower governing bodies in their work of raising educational achievement for all.

The executive group consists of 18 governors, 16 of whom are elected at the annual general meeting. They organise regular strategic briefings and represent the city’s governors on a number of education committees and consultative groups.

The Network produces a termly newsletter issued to all governors – the Governors’ Focus. This contains up-to-date information on both national and local issues, helpful tips and advice from the support teams, training information and contributions from other governors across the City.
