National Governance Association

The National Governance Association (NGA) is the membership organisation for governors, trustees, clerks, and other governance professionals of state schools in England.

We are an independent, not-for-profit charity that aims to improve the educational standards and wellbeing of young people by increasing the effectiveness of governing boards and promoting high standards. We are expert leaders in school and trust governance, providing information, advice and guidance, professional development, and e-learning.

We represent the views of governors, trustees, clerks, and other governance professionals at a national level and work closely with, and lobby, UK government, and educational bodies.
