Governor Services

We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities to support governing bodies to secure school improvement.

Our training is effective, up to date and provides practical advice for governors.  

Our programme ranges from new governor training to ensure that new volunteers receive a proper grounding in practical governance to an update session aimed at experienced governors.  

Our focus is on school improvement and we offer a range of courses including a governors guide to Quality of Teaching, Closing the Gap, Engaging with Parents and a two part School Improvement Overview.
