Ni fydd uchafswm ar nifer yr aelodau ar unrhyw fath o gorff llywodraethu.Asesu’r aelodau i nodi unrhyw fylchau o ran y sgiliau sydd eu hangen arnynt i gyflawni eu dyletswyddau'n effeithiol.Ymestyn categori'r rhiant lywodraethwyr fel bod rhiant lywodraethwyr yn cael eu penodi ar gyrff llywodraethu yn ogystal â’r rheini a etholwyd.Rhoi'r hawl i ysgolion gael cynifer o riant lywodraethwyr ag y mynnant, cyn belled nad oes mwy o riant lywodraethwyr a etholwyd na rhiant lywodraethwyr a benodwyd.Caniatáu i rieni cyn-ddisgyblion gael eu penodi'n rhiant lywodraethwyr a dileu'r system bresennol sy'n gosod cyfyngiadau ar nifer y rhiant lywodraethwyr a geir ar gyrff llywodraethu.Rhoi'r gallu i gyrff llywodraethu gynyddu neu leihau nifer eu haelodau'n rhwyddach, gan gynnwys penodi 'aelodau cyswllt' neu rai nad ydynt yn llywodraethwyr i bwyllgorau, pryd bynnag y bo angen arbenigedd neu brofiad penodol.Bydd y gofyniad i gynnwys unigolyn annibynnol yn cael ei estyn i bob pwyllgor disgyblu neu ddiswyddo staff, yn ogystal â phwyllgorau penodi penaethiaid a dirprwy benaethiaid.

Suggested reforms include:Greater flexibility to make their own decisions about their structure and membership, with a focus on skilled governors.A minimum of seven governors in all except voluntary and foundation schools, consisting of parent, staff, local authority, and community governors, as well as the head teacher.A new category of ‘co-opted governors’ recruited specifically for their skills with no upper limit on the overall size of any type of governing body.Audits of members to identify any gaps in the skills they need to carry out their responsibilities effectively.Extend the category of parent governor so there will be appointed parent governors alongside their elected colleagues.Flexibility to have as many parent governors as they wish as long as elected parent governors do not outnumber appointed parent governors.Allowing parents of former pupils to be appointed as parent governor and ending the current system where governing bodies have restrictions on the number of parent governors they may have.Giving governing bodies the flexibility to increase or decrease their numbers more easily, including appointing ‘associate members’ or non governors to committees, whenever specific expertise or experience is needed.The requirement for an independent person – which currently only applies where a staff disciplinary and dismissal committee is dealing with a matter involving harm to a pupil - will be extended to all staff disciplinary and dismissal committees, as well as head and deputy head teacher selection committees.
