Governance

The Board provides support for governing bodies on a range of subjects, including:

• Admission and appeals;
• Exclusion of pupils;
• Parental complaints;
• Personnel matters;
• Religious education;
• Collective worship;
• School buildings;
• Ofsted & SIAMS inspection.

We also provide advice on governing body procedures, committees and re-organisation issues such as joining infant and junior schools, change of school category and academy status.

The Board runs a wide-ranging programme of training sessions for governors, in addition to which we have also created the ‘Bishop’s Certificate in Church School Governance’, a modular course running across the academic year.
