Full membership of the Association consists of all members of the governing bodies, academy trust boards and advisory boards of all the state schools in Oxfordshire. All members have equal status, there is no differentiation as a result either of the type of governor or board member or of the type of school from which the member comes. Membership is entirely free to individual governors / board members. However, we do charge schools a nominal membership fee which has been unchanged since 2003.
For schools with up to 300 pupils our membership fee is £10 per school and for schools with 301 or more pupils we charge £15 per school. However, we do charge individually for each school regardless of their status as a freestanding school or a school within a multi academy trust or federation.
Schools can subscribe either through OCC using the annual buyback form or directly by bank transfer using the OGA-Invoice-for-website. There are occasionally a few schools who have paid by Bacs that we cannot identify so please make sure your school code is included when making payment.
Alternatively please use the Contact Us link to request our bank details.
