Most people become school governors or trustees because they want to make a difference, but without the right training these good intentions can be wasted by focusing on the wrong things or lacking in confidence and understanding of the role.
This course aims to equip governors and trustees to be confident and effective quickly.

This two-session governance training course covers:

• Understanding the school system and the curriculum

• Getting to grips with the role of governance

• Knowing your school and holding others to account

• Overseeing finances

• Statutory compliance and safeguarding

• Understanding the Ofsted framework and KPIs

• Effectively contributing as a governor or trustee
