Honeyguide School Leader Support
Reports to Governors Template Bundle
Reports to Governors Template Bundle
This bundle is perfect for headteachers, trust leaders, governance professionals and SLT members who wish to be consistent in the way they report information to their governing board. The thirteen editable reporting templates will help your governing board to gain a clearer picture in each of the areas, which include school finance, safeguarding, subject reports, wellbeing, pupil premium and more. Each template contains space for data and commentary, allowing governors to build a picture of the school's current position and the reasons behind this.
Regular reports to the relevant governor committees, the full governing board or your local board members allows all of your governors to make more effective strategic decisions because they'll hold a deeper understanding of the school. It can also support governors to share how they hold school leadership to account to ensure compliance, which is a crucial part of the Ofsted leadership and management judgement and a key feature of an effective governing board.
👉 For support with a specific link governor role, the relevant report to governor template is also available in our individual link governor support packs. These packs also include full audits that can be used in a collaborative manner between schools leaders and governors, plus a role and responsibilities document to support link governors with their specific roles.

What's included in this bundle?
This pack is designed to support effective governance in schools. It contains thirteen editable reporting to governor templates (MS Word .docx format); each one will support school leaders to accurately and consistently report their setting's current position to the full governing board or the relevant governing committee. This enables link governors, local board members and trustees to gain a deeper understanding about the school's current position as well as identifying upwards and downward trends in data, which can then be explored in more depth by the relevant link governors so that effective strategic decisions can be made.
The report templates in this pack include the following areas:
- Attendance
- Behaviour
- Data Protection (GDPR)
- EYFS
- Finance
- Health and Safety
- Looked After Children and Previously Looked After Children
- Pupil Premium and Disadvantaged Pupils
- Safeguarding (also available as a separate downloadable resource)
- School Wellbeing
- SEND
- Subject (for individual subject reports)
- Headteacher's Report (which can support you to summarise the key points of the above reports to the full governing board or your board of trustees and is also available as a separate downloadable resource)
Each report to governors is designed to support long-term strategic collaboration between schools leaders and governors. This allows for a full picture to be built (meaning governors are prepared to speak with Ofsted inspectors when necessary) and ensuring that the governing board fulfils its core functions linked to the educational performance of the school and the sound, proper and effective use of the school’s financial resources.
Who will find this resource useful?
Anyone who wants to support their governors to better understand school data and be more proactive, effective and strategically involved (rather than operationally) will find this pack extremely useful. The thirteen templates are consistent in nature, allowing headteachers, trust leaders, governance professionals or anyone else involved in building effective governance in school to ensure the governors, local board members and/or trustees have a strong grip on school data and the school's current position.
What questions does this pack have the answers to?
This report to governors template bundle will help schools answer key questions such as:
- What data and insights should be included in a subject report to the full governing board?
- How can I support governors to better understand my school?
- How can governors collaborate with school leaders to identify areas for improvement and ensure the best outcomes for pupils?
