For trust leaders
Every school, the same standard, one live view
SGAF is the Governance Operating System for UK schools and academy trusts. Whether you lead as Trust CEO or as Governance Lead, that means an exception grid showing which schools need attention across attendance, safeguarding, finance, governance and workforce, one audit programme run to the same standard in every school, and a risk rollup and completion grid ready for the trustee pack. It reads the work each school already does, so there is nothing new for the schools to enter.
Per-school pricing across the estate, with central oversight included.
Your term with SGAF
A trust leader's year, mapped out
Three points in the year where the estate's governance reads as one picture instead of many separate ones.
Every school, every term
Nothing new for the schools to enter
Audits, risks, actions and termly headteacher reports happen in every school inside the same connected system. As Governance Lead you run one audit programme, delegated by link with a deadline, across the whole estate. As Trust CEO you see the risks rolling up from every school as they change. Neither view asks a school to report twice.
Before the meeting
Exceptions surface before you go looking
The exception grid gives every school a status across attendance, safeguarding, finance, governance and workforce, so the meeting is spent on the schools that need a conversation, not the ones that are fine. A completion grid alongside it shows exactly who has done what across the estate, with reminders chasing the outstanding checks.
For the trustee pack
The board pack arrives already built
The risk rollup and the completion grid export straight into the trustee pack, so no one rebuilds a table the night before the meeting. Termly headteacher reports feed the same oversight view as they land, so what the central board reads is never more than a term out of date.
