iGNIS – the Governance Network for International Schools

An important update - July 2025

Over the past year, since the launch of iGNIS, our members have told us what they value most is timely, relevant insight - delivered directly - and that they find it less easy or convenient to engage with a standalone platform. Following our member survey in May, the reflections and suggestions from the survey, and direct from our members, have helped determine our next steps.  

Therefore, from September 2025, we will retire the iGNIS platform and introduce a new, more focused offer: Governance Insights from RSAcademics - a free, expertly curated email newsletter delivered 3–4 times a year.  

This will provide:  

  • Timely articles, commentary, and practical ideas to support the effectiveness of your school’s governance.  

  • Direct access from the email newsletter, with no need to log into a separate platform.  

We will supplement this newsletter with other regular services that can be paid for on-demand, such as onboarding training for new governance members, and we will continue to offer our training and consultancy services in governance for those who need deeper or more bespoke support.  

Access to the iGNIS platform will remain live for existing members until 31 August 2025. Thank you to all our Pioneer Members for being part of iGNIS over the past year. Your involvement and feedback have helped to shape a new approach to looking at and supporting governance in international schools, and have also been invaluable in helping us decide on our future approach.
