Governor handbook
The handbook provides a useful resource to
support all governors in their role. It aims to:
- Provide easy access to up-to-date information and guidance on
governors' roles and responsibilities
- Provide information and guidance on the work of the governing
body
- Provide sign-posting for where to find further information and
guidance
Induction training
Here at Peterborough LA, the Governor Development Team are
anxious to ensure that all governors have the opportunity to access
the National Training Programme for New Governors, as
soon as possible after appointment. The course defines the key
roles and responsibilities of governing bodies in achieving
effective schools and helps new governors to become confident and
effective members of the team. It is a good forum in which to find
answers to those questions that new governors may not have dared to
ask anyone else. In short, it is a vital element of a
governor's induction programme and we strongly recommend that all
governors attend during the first twelve to eighteen months
following their appointment.
