Who the training is for

Governor Services bitesize training provides a quick and convenient way for governors to learn about their roles and responsibilities.

New governors are full governors from the day they join the board. This package of resources is designed to support a clear understanding of the basics of governance and act as a stepping stone to the core training package offered by Governor Services.

The courses also offer a quick refresher for more experienced governors or boards who want to spend time discussing their school concerning a particular topic.

What the training provides

Written by experienced governors, the training:

  • identifies the key areas new governors need to know or understand
  • signposts key documents or guidance for governors
  • provides an overview of processes and indicates best practice
  • encourages reflection and research around the governor’s own school and governance experience.

A certificate of completion can be requested by completing the quiz at the end of each course.
