Governor training courses
The Governor Development Team offers a variety of training courses for all governors.
We plan over 50 courses throughout the year and you will see from the programme that we are offering a selection of new courses for the forthcoming academic year. Most training is at Windsor House where there is level access and plenty of parking. Tea, coffee, water, and biscuits are offered at all courses and we value your feedback on course content, the tutors and venue.
All training and helpline services are free to schools subscribing to Governor Services under Trading Fair. Governors from non subscribing schools are welcome to attend the training at a cost price of £60 per governor per two hour session.
We are keen to ensure that the training programme offers a variety of courses designed to help and inform governors and clerks. If you have any specific training requirements please contact the Governor Development Team. Individual governing body training at your school can be arranged by request. Topics may include:
- Accountability
- Evaluation and monitoring
- Roles and responsibilities
- Leading together
- Governing body healthcheck
We offer development sessions for your whole governing body, working with you on your site at a time to suit your governing body. Some commonly requested topics are: preparation for OfSTED inspection, strategic planning, accountability and monitoring and evaluation.
To discuss your bespoke training/development needs please call 01752 307480 or email governor.development@plymouth.gov.uk.
You may also consider an appraisal of the governing body. The Governor Development Officer will be willing to assist any governing body wishing to evaluate its own performance
Chairing and clerking skills
We offer a five module training course for both clerks and chairs of governing bodies or committees, or for aspiring chairs. Individual or small group clerks’ training is also available on request.
Clerks' update
clerks' updates are held three times a year and attendance is strongly encouraged as part of their contracted hours. This is the most cost effective way to support the strategic development of a governing body.
