Service Description

This is an essential course for all recently appointed school governors and academy trustees. Board members have a challenging voluntary role to fulfil, and high-quality induction is vital to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need. This Programme will develop your understanding of a governing board’s roles and responsibilities and how to fulfil these effectively, so that you can begin to make a positive difference to your board and feel that you are contributing effectively. The Programme will explore the core functions and purpose of all governing boards and consider the different structures and responsibilities in LA maintained schools and academy trusts. The Programme consists of three modules running over consecutive weeks, and new board members will derive maximum benefit if they attend all three sessions. This is a repeat of the programme which ran in November 2024.
