Combining best-in-class management tools with over 500 resources,

The Key Governance is your go-to source of support for great governance.

Governance tools help your board to:

  • Collaborate and communicate

    No more email attachments or distribution lists. Post a message on your private noticeboard and we'll notify everyone by email; message the entire board, or just a chosen committee.

  • Stay on track and organised

    Add meetings or school events to a shared calendar that your governors can link to their phone. Attach a folder of documents to each meeting, and download a full attendance report for each academic year.

  • Trust governance co-ordinators
  • Clerks
  • Governors and trustees

The board management tool is so much easier and more intuitive than our previous system for sharing documents and communicating. It has really helped me as chair and I think the board runs much more efficiently now.
