Congratulations on becoming a school governor!

New governors are expected to attend induction training as soon as possible after appointment, since it covers the key information needed to be an effective governor. The informal and supportive environment will enable governors to gain confidence and knowledge of these three core functions:

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
  • Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent

You have the choice of doing all three sessions in one day or as three separate sessions.
