Happy National School Governors’ Awareness Day!

Today, 12 February 2026, we proudly celebrate the dedicated individuals who volunteer their time, skills, and passion to support our schools across Extend Learning Academies Network (ELAN).

Our school governors play a vital role in shaping the vision, direction, and success of our academies. They challenge us, champion our pupils, and make sure every decision keeps children at the heart of what we do. Their commitment helps create the nurturing, inspiring learning environments our communities rely on.

Why become a school governor?
Being a governor is a powerful way to:
Make a real difference to children’s education
Support your local community
Develop leadership and strategic skills
Gain insight into how schools operate
Help shape a better future for young people

To all our governors—thank you. Your dedication, insight, and support truly make a difference every single day. 💙
