Training for governors
Peterborough Governor Services provide a range of training
opportunities. Governor training is not compulsory but all
governors are strongly encouraged to take up available training,
particularly induction courses.
We believe that governing bodies should constantly review their
skills base and should ensure that governors take every opportunity
to update their knowledge and understanding. Longer serving
governors who have never attended training will find attendance at
sessions valuable in helping them to understand their roles and
responsibilities. Training can now be accessed in a variety of
ways:
- The core training programme offers face
to face sessions during the day, late afternoon and evening
sessions.
- In-house courses are available as an individual
development session in school.
- On-line learning is available
through the GEL website and Modern Governor
- Distance learning is available for the
DfE National
Training Programme for New Governors. The programme is
available through independent study materials - a workbook and
video or CD-Rom.
Training newsletters
The Governor Training Newsletter is issued each month and sent
to all clerks and link/training governors. It contains details of
forthcoming training sessions for school governors. Courses are
free to subscribing schools, but a charge will be made for
non-attendance. Governors may book as many courses as they wish to
attend.
