Induction: the Effective Governance of Schools

 

Target Audience in your first 6 months in post: Every governor of Primary, Secondary,

Nursery and Special Maintained schools. Every Academy board trustee/director/

governor, and every member of academy local governance committees

 

We have redesigned this course from new for 2017-18, to allow for more structured discussion,

and to reflect the priorities of the new DfE Competencies Framework and revised Governance

Handbook.

 

The Induction course is a core requirement for all new governors, its aim is to provide a

rounded picture of the principles of governance, but also to give practical guidance on how

all governors can actively contribute to the leadership of their school, in partnership with their

head teacher.

 

Delegates require no prior knowledge of governance, but our course tutors will adapt their

approach to suit participants’ needs.

Unit 1: Strategic leadership (competency 1, 5)

• Introduction to the principles of governance

• Outline of the governing board’s statutory responsibilities

• Strategic direction and priorities: what these mean in practice

 

Unit 2: Accountability (competency 2)

• Getting to know your school. Your key role in holding the school to account for teaching and

learning

• How to use different sources of information and advice to monitor and evaluate your school’s

strengths and weaknesses, and to determine its improvement priorities

• Staffing and performance management

 

Unit 3: Governance (competencies 3, 4, 6)
