Governance Guide
Strengthen Your School Leadership
CAIS values the constant and deliberate quest for excellence, and we recognize the vital leadership role that governors play, in partnership with Heads, in the success of our schools. We want all of our schools to have strong Heads who focus on supporting the students of the present, but we also want strong Boards that focus on supporting the students of the future.
The Governance Guide includes new learning on a number of areas, including Human Resources, Risk Management, Head Transitions, and Consent Agendas.
