School Governance: Governor Mark workshop

3rd Jul 2015

School Governance: Governor Mark workshop (3 CPD points or hours)
3rd July 2015 / 9.00 am - 12.30 pm

Target Group: Head Teacher, Chair of Governing Body, Governors, Clerks, Bursar, Office Manager, Human Resources

The Governors Mark award is a non-prescriptive model which measures the working practices of the governing body and their impact on school performance.  It is designed to recognise the difference governing bodies make to the school's leadership and management, the impact on school improvement and the learning outcomes for children.

The Governors Mark assessment follows the Ofsted framework and expectations on governing bodies.

The Governors Mark award also examines relationships between governors and senior staff, as well as recent developments in the Ofsted framework about preparing pupils for life in modern Britain.

This workshop will cover the 3 strands of the Governor Mark:

1) the ethos and working practices which underpin the work of the governing body
2) the assessment framework within which the governing body works to strengthen the work of the school
3) the impact of governance, influencing achievement in the school
