Welcome to the School Governors' One-Stop Shop

The School Governors' One-Stop Shop (SGOSS) is a small, highly successful charity which recruits volunteers to become governors in schools across England. SGOSS has won awards for the way it works with volunteers, builds partnerships with employers, manages its finances, and develops its staff. Its services are FREE to Local Authorities, volunteers, employers and schools.

There are 350,000 volunteer governor places in England on governing bodies in 23,500 nursery, primary and secondary schools. At any one time approximately 40,000 of these places will be vacant as volunteers' circumstances change, or their terms of office come to an end. By working with employers and engaging with communities, serving governors and Local Authorities, SGOSS has already placed over 5,500 high calibre volunteers into schools.
