Governance

Choose a subject

Governors and directors have a very important role in the success of our Trust. Both are critical to the effectiveness of the strategic leadership within our schools and in our Trust.

Following are a range of courses designed specifically for governors and directors.  There are induction sessions for those new to their roles and opportunities for established board members to update their knowledge to further develop in their roles.

Governance Briefings

Previously the Hub Forum, our Governance Briefing is open to all Governors/Directors across the Trust.  

This is a chance for Governors/Directors to link together to understand the Trust Strategy and how this relates to their schools. 

Areas for discussion will include; School Improvement, Finance, Operations and Governance.
