Every governing board has statutory monitoring responsibilities. Assign a named governor to each role and the system generates structured visit plans with focus questions, evidence prompts and downloadable reports. The roster adapts to your school’s phase, so secondary, primary, nursery and special schools each see the roles that apply to them.

Allocate a named governor to each of the statutory monitoring roles. The system tracks who is responsible for what.
Each role generates a structured visit plan across Autumn, Spring, and Summer. Visit templates include focus questions and evidence prompts.
Generate individual or bulk visit reports with governor names pre-populated. Completing the visit and recording the evidence are the same act, so each finished report is a verifiable artefact.
Statutory & Core visit reports feed directly into your Quality Standard, covering governance elements across compliance and assurance stages. Every completed visit is evidence logged.
See the Governor Assurance Plan →Every school’s statutory monitoring rolls up to the Trust dashboard, so the central team sees which duties are covered, which visits are done and where a role sits unassigned, across the whole trust.
