On results day
The chair of governors should be responsible for discussing the school's exam results with the headteacher. During this discussion:
- Identify and celebrate successes
- Decide how to present these results to the rest of the board (for example, including a breakdown of data for individual groups and subjects)
You or your headteacher should communicate the results to the board. Make it clear to the board that the data is unvalidated and some results may change.
At your first meeting after results day
Use your first full governing board meeting after results day to celebrate successes and identify any learnings from your school's results.
