âBoards need to reflect and understand the communities they serve and wider society,â said the NGA. âIt is the responsibility of everyone in and working with governance to move this forward. âThere are plenty of talented potential volunteers out there from underrepresented groups; boards need to take a responsibility and change their recruitment practices to find them.â Keith Deane is currently the only person of colour on the 10-strong governing body at Sir William Ramsay school, a secondary school in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, where 30% of pupils come from ethnic minorities and communications with parents are translated into four different languages including Urdu, Punjabi and Romanian. Another black governor is joining in September.
