Structured governance assurance for UK school governing boards.

For headteachers

One submission a term. Evidence in every room that needs it.

SGAF is the Governance Operating System for UK schools and academy trusts. As headteacher, that means one short termly submission that feeds the board's briefing without a second write-up, a website compliance check that runs quietly in the background rather than landing on your desk, and staff checks you can delegate with a deadline instead of an email thread.

Membership from £229 per school per year.

Your term with SGAF

A headteacher's year, mapped out

Three points in the year where the same submission and the same checks do more than one job.

Every term

The numbers, entered once

Pupil numbers, attendance, staffing, budget, SIP progress and safeguarding go in once a term as the Headteacher Report. From that single submission, the figures feed the Board Intelligence briefing, build a trend the board can watch move, and log as dated evidence against your Quality Standard, all without a second write-up.

All year

The website checked while you focus elsewhere

Automated Website Compliance crawls every page and policy on the school website and re-runs the check every term, so a missing policy or an out-of-date page surfaces before a parent finds it rather than after. Whoever maintains the site gets a short, specific brief, not the whole site to re-check by hand.

Any time

Delegate a check, and it comes back done

Send a staff check out by link with a deadline, and reminders chase it rather than you. Every completed check exports as a PDF for the file, and its findings feed the board briefing without you writing it up twice.
