The role of governing bodies is a demanding one with ever higher expectations. As a consequence, Governors and Clerks now need, more than ever, to stay in touch and up-to-date with what is changing in education and how this impacts on governance and the roles and responsibilities of governing bodies.
Our Governance support packages help raise achievement and standards through the processes of monitoring, challenge, support and intervention. We will help you with any aspect of school governance, especially duties and accountability.
Ian Arkell and Richard Morley are our lead governance consultants and have extensive experience of both school senior leadership and governance roles
Designed specifically for schools graded as ‘requiring improvement’ or lower, and where Ofsted or the DfE have advised an external review of school governance is necessary, this highly tailored service assesses how well your school’s governing body is working. It can also be used by any school wanting to conduct an independent evaluation of how well their governing body is performing.
Through thorough evaluation, key recommendations and vital support, our end goal is to support improvement in the performance of your governing body.
One of our experienced education consultants or governance professionals will carry out discussions with your governing body, headteacher and clerk in order to find out your exact needs.
A bespoke guided self-review, according to Ofsted and DfE requirements for good school governance, will be provided and will include the first-hand involvement of governors in discussion and evaluation of documentation. This documentation would include governor minutes, governor visit notes, any governor vision notes, and all relevant evidence.
Following completion of the review, a written report with recommendations for improvement will be provided.
SchoolPro TLC consultants can provide external advice for governors and act as the independent individual in line with statutory guidelines.
One of our specialist consultants will review the School Development Plan (SDP) and the Inspection Data Summary Report (IDSR) in preparation for the initial performance management meeting alongside meeting with the governor responsible for the Headteacher Performance Management (HTPM).
The performance management process will be conducted during the year with mid-year and final reviews. The governor can be supported through this process where required.
The 16-19 Study Programmes have been in place since 2013 which should provide students with structured and challenging learning that supports their development in line with their career plans. Ensuring that your programme meets these requirements alongside maximizing your funding opportunities and performance measures will be the focus of the review. Our bespoke key stage review service can support you in all areas of the Study Programme or be tailored to meet a specific need within a highlighted area.
All of our governor CPD sessions can be delivered to a full governing board or to groups of governors from a variety of different settings.
Outcomes for all of our governor support packages will be dependent on the context of the school and the SDP. This could include curriculum development, behaviour, school culture or core subject focuses.
