Ofsted Chief Inspector Sir Michael
Wilshaw wants a more professional
approach to school governing bodies
• He praised the best governors for focusing on the "big
issues", such as "the quality of teaching, the progress and
achievement of their pupils, and the culture which supports
this".
• But he condemned weak governing bodies for paying too
much attention to what he called "marginal" concerns.
• "Too much time spent looking at the quality of school
lunches and not enough on maths and English," Sir Michael
said.
