Vale School Governors' Association (VSGA)

 

The Vale School Governors’ Association (VSGA) (formerly known as AVAGO) was formed in 1996 and is the recognised representative body for governors of schools throughout the Vale of Glamorgan. All governors in each type of school within the Vale are entitled to participate in VSGA.

 

The Management Committee is made up of 15 elected governors together with 2 elected Parent Governor Representatives.

 

VSGA was set up to:

  • Promote best practice in governance in schools within the Vale of Glamorgan Local Authority (LA);
  • To promote partnership amongst schools and between schools and the LA;
  • To work with stakeholders to ensure adequate resources for schools within the LA;
  • To represent the Association’s views on issues relating to school governance and the management and resourcing of schools to relevant authorities and organisations.

 

VSGA together with the support of the Governor Support Unit produces the termly Governor Newsletter. VSGA also helps host the Educational Update and Briefing Sessions for Chairs and Vice Chairs which meets with the Council’s Director of Learning and Development and his three Heads of Service.

 

The Association has also supported the Governor Support Unit with the Annual Conference for Governors.
