It is a shame not to see more on the list considering the coalition aim for the big society.
However it is not the fault of government but ordinary people who can nominate the unsung school governors volunteers by nominating someone they know for a Queens’s honour.
How to nominate a School Governor for a honour

All you need to do is fill in a form which can be downloaded from the link above. Say why the School governor deserves to be recognised and get at least two short letters of support.
Let’s make it a new year’s resolution get more School Governors on the list next year!
Good Luck!
