Governor Mark is an approved quality standard for Governing Bodies. The quality mark is a non-prescriptive framework, which recognises that there are many approaches to achieving sustainable excellence in school governance within the leadership and management structure of the school.


The Principles of Governor Mark are:

---

• The Quality Mark is a mechanism to achieve accreditation against an agreed quality standard and is not a training exercise.
• The Quality Mark will remain active for a period of three years, after which a re-assessment will be required. 
• Governing bodies may use the standards and framework as a gap analysis tool. Any training or support identified is a matter for each individual school. 
• Assessment against the criteria will be externally verified* 

​You can download an assessment application form from the Governor Mark website.
