City of Leicester Governors Association

Introducing COLGA

"We, the Colga Executive, need your help!

We wish to represent your collective view but we often have to guess when we are asked to represent you all. To help to improve this need of communication with most of you, we have launched our website (with support and encouragement from Vi Dempster) to encourage you in your task as a Governor and to help formulate our collective position. We hope you will find this site easy to use. It replaces one on the NCSL website which was complicated to reach because it was multipurpose. We want to know what you think about issues which affect Governors. Many discussions will be started on this site. Opinions may be expressed to try to gauge your support. They can only be COLGA views if they have your support.

We will continue to communicate via COLGA News for those of you who prefer paper to computers

Thanks for all you do for the schools of Leicester"
