For the People
Behind the Decision
Knowa. The board platform for governors, clerks and the trusts they serve.
Every governing board decision is made for pupils who will never sit in the meeting. Knowa keeps the evidence, history and collective knowledge behind it in live connection, and within reach.
Knowa Core
One governance record.
Knowa Core brings your documents, discussions, meetings and decisions together. Connected modules build on that record to support the work around it.
Statutory policies, Scheme of Delegation, Pupil Premium strategy, minutes, link governor reports, training records. Versioned, permissioned, Ofsted-ready.
Every discussion, vote, and decision threaded to the paper or policy it relates to. Trustees @mention, debate, and sign off between meetings. The discussion becomes the record.
Meeting Flow is the work of the meeting itself: the pack assembled cohesively from Knowa and external content, members reading and annotating in advance, the discussion captured live, minutes drafted within the hour with actions already in the tracker.
Governors approved updated safeguarding policy. 5 actions logged.

CEOs of Trusts
Every school's compliance at a glance. One view for the trust board, not fifteen updates.
Chairs of Trust Boards
Every LGB, committee and school in one workspace. Oversight without the inbox.

Each link governor's visits, findings, and challenges: logged in one place, cited in the right minutes, assembled for Ofsted without a last-minute scramble.
Induction pack one click away for every new governor. KCSIE and mandatory training tracked per person. Skills matrix maintained continuously.
