Governor Development Service

Governor Development Service (GDS) is an integral part of the School Improvement and Performance Service, which emphasises the important role that governors have in improving standards of achievement in Leicestershire schools.

We provide training, advice and information to school governors, headteachers and clerks. The team offer a high quality service which support schools in raising standards of achievement, providing the young people of the County with the best possible opportunities in life.

Our services are highly regarded by governing bodies throughout Leicestershire with the vast majority buying into our programme of training and support.  Evaluations of the service provided by GDS show that governing bodies countywide are appreciative of the professional, prompt, personable and accurate assistance provided.
