Event description | This course, delivered face to face (TBC nearer to the event) will be led by Therese McNulty, Ealing’s lead for the governor service and herself a serving governor. The content is structured around the Three Core Functions of school governance described in the DfE Governance Handbook and covers everything you need to know in order to “hit the ground running” and become an effective member of your governing board team. You will gain all the essential information about schools and the education system including jargon-busting, types of school, categories of governor, the curriculum, assessment and Ofsted inspection. You will explore what governors do and, equally important, what they should not do, with tips on how to maintain a strategic focus and avoid getting involved in the day-to-day, operational running of the school. You will learn about governors’ statutory duties and how to engage effectively with parents, pupils and staff. Above all, the course should leave you motivated and inspired to contribute to your governing board thereby improving the education of the pupils at your school. |
