This course is for Governors new to school finance or those who want to refresh their knowledge.  Understand your duties and the key points to be aware of relating to school budgets and funding.

This session will be run via Microsoft Teams and an invite will be sent to you nearer the time.

An up to the minute programme based on the original DfE materials and significantly updated. This is a valuable course for those on interview panels or who are new to their role. It is a legal requirement that at least one member of an interviewing panel has undertaken safeguarding training.

This programme provides a valuable insight into how to monitor and evaluate the school's recruitment practice and wider safeguarding issues as schools have a legal responsibility to safeguard children and promote their welfare. It will also be evidence for Ofsted and other stakeholders that the school takes its responsibilities seriously.

Did you know?
For a 'Good' school to continue to be graded 'Good by Ofsted', not only must provision still be good, but safeguarding must be judged effective.

At the end of each of the four sessions of the workshop relevant questions for that session are displayed and participants complete a test, selecting from multiple choice answers. Participants subsequently receive a certificate.

Governing Board self-evaluation is recognised by the DfE and Ofsted as a requirement and a vital tool in developing effective governance.

This session explores how self-evaluation can improve individual and team effectiveness and will give participants the opportunity to explore a variety of different self-review tools to support their own governing body, helping identify development needs and ways forward. The course will also show you how to effectively demonstrate that your board values and undertakes regular reviews.

• To help governors to understand and apply the role and responsibilities of the SEND Governor.
• Share ways that governors can play an active role to monitor the effectiveness and impact of provision for children and young people with SEND
• To support SEN Governors to monitor provision during lockdowns

Briefing

NOT TO BE MISSED!

A short course in dealing with challenging situations confidently and effectively by developing appropriate strategies and skills.

The word conflict describes friction, distrust or lack of empathy between individual team members or with a person you directly lline manage.  Deal with it badly and the ripple effects can manifest into a wave of discontent.  Get it right and you can all build on the trust respect and knowledge gained.  Participants will gain an understanding of the different types of conflict and how to resolve differences in a way that both parties benefit.

This is an interactive short course involving theory and practical exercises.

This course will provide Governors with an overview of the National Curriculum from the Early Years Foundation Stage to KS4.  Participants will gain greater understanding of the 'Quality of Education' and come away with ideas to enable them to find out about the curriculum in their school and prepare for OfSTED.

This training should enable Governors to understand both statutory and non statutory data and therefore enable them to ask good questions that will take their school forward.  It will particularly focus on what data your school might have given the lack of statutory data due to the pandemic

This is an up-date for all Clerks on current issues for Governors, both locally and nationally.
