Clerks
The majority (81 per cent) of Schools governors surveyed believed that ‘clerks informed governors of their legal duties’. Additionally, the majority (82 per cent) felt that the ‘clerk informed them of training opportunities’.
Further analysis revealed that governors in those schools where governance was rated by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’ were significantly more likely to strongly agree or agree that ‘clerks informed governors of their legal duties’ and ‘clerks informed them of training opportunities’.
Coordinators concurred with governors’ views on clerks’ contributions. The majority (77 per cent: 48 coordinators) surveyed believed that ‘clerks informed governors of their legal duties’. Additionally, the majority (76 per cent: 47 coordinators) felt that ‘the clerk informed them of training opportunities’.
The importance of the clerk’s contribution to the governing body’s strategic input was further emphasised by the case¬study interviews as three coordinators specifically observed the value of their role.
