Make Schools Your Business Campaign Pack

The ‘Make Schools Your Business’ campaign aims to increase the level of business skills on school governing bodies by encouraging more skilled professionals to volunteer for the role.

Make Schools Your Business’ interviews 6 school governor volunteers and explores how they have used and developed their skills in the role.

In this short film three school governors tell of their experiences of doing the role in the Bradford District– what they think they’ve brought to the role and what they’ve gained from it.
