School Governance
Assurance Framework
Assurance Framework
Structured governance assurance for UK school governing boards.
Structured governance assurance for UK school governing boards.
Audits surface what needs attention. The board confirms risks, owns actions, records progress and turns the year's work into an Annual Governance Statement. Trust leaders see the pattern across every school.
The tools are not standalone. Work done in one part of SGAF becomes evidence, risk, action or annual assurance somewhere else. The board does the governance once, and the system keeps the trail.
20+ governance, compliance and readiness audits identify the findings the board should not lose sight of.
Findings become suggested risks. The board adds or dismisses them.
Risks and findings become owned actions with RAG, owner, due date and review history.
The year's evidence becomes a board-adopted Annual Governance Statement.
Every school's assurance picture rolls up so leaders can see patterns, not fragments.
Trust leaders are trying to join school effectiveness, safeguarding, attendance, behaviour, compliance, risk, actions and board assurance across multiple schools. SGAF gives that work one operating system.
No tool stands alone. Audit findings become risks. Risks become actions. Actions become annual assurance. Trust leaders see the pattern across schools without piecing together separate reports.
