The Great Big Governance Glossary 2026/27

Governance doesn't have to be complicated. But let's be honest – it often feels that way.

 

Whether you're a new governor or trustee finding your feet, an experienced board member navigating the latest reforms, or a clerk or Governance Professional supporting your board, the language, acronyms, and expectations of school governance can feel overwhelming.

 

That's why I've created The Great Big Governance Glossary – a comprehensive, accessible, and readable guide to the world of school and trust governance in England.

 

There is also a quick start guide to the Glossary to help you start your governance journey.

 

Thank you for reading!
