Governor Training - Induction - Session 2 of 3

Session 1 - 10th October
Session 2 - 31st October
Session 3 - 28th November

Aimed at new governors/trustees and those with less than twelve months’ experience, the session covers the following key issues:

• What is the role of the board?

• What is ‘effective governance’?

• What does Ofsted hold boards accountable for?

• Effective meetings

• Visits to school

• Being Strategic: What does it mean in practice?

• Monitoring and evaluation: how can the board hold its school(s) to account?

• Accountability: how should governors/trustees fulfil their accountabilities to stakeholders?

The 3 sessions induction sessions are subtitled:

• Effective Governance

• The Boards Role in a school’s Ethos, Vision & Values

• A Governors Role in Monitoring, Support and Challenge

Each of these sessions also work very well as ‘standalone’ sessions – so they can be used by experienced governors as a refresher on some Governance fundamentals.
