NTG1610 New to Governance 2/2

5 Wells Development Centre @ Redwell Primary

New to Governance

The course is a vital part of the induction of new school governors, the course covers the essential elements of the role of the governing board and of the governors that make up the board. The course acknowledges the need for all governors to be properly inducted and developed to ensure they possess the knowledge and skills required to perform their functions confidently and effectively.

The course is designed for new governors but governors who wish to refresh their knowledge and skills are very welcome. The sessions are interactive and activities use real examples to illustrate challenges that governors face.

The sessions will explore the key roles of the governing board as outlined in the current Governance Handbook; particular emphasis is placed on the three core functions of school governance;

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

The course will examine how these core functions relate to the everyday functioning of the school and its board of governors and the responsibilities of the board to the school.

Please note this course is in two parts. (2x2 hour sessions)

Our training will be facilitated by one of our NLGs (National Leader of Governance) - Trevor Kendrick.  You can read more about Trevor here: https://www.5wellstsa.org.uk/index.php/school-to-school/national-leaders-of-governance/17-trevor-kendrick 

 

 

 

ASP1710AM Analyse School Performance

5 Wells Development Centre @ Redwell Primary

New Session Added

 

As you may be aware, the DfE are in the process of updating their School Data software and RaiseOnline will soon be replaced by ASP.

Quote from DfE website:

• The Department for Education (DfE) are launching a new service, which will provide schools and other existing user groups with detailed performance analysis to support local school improvement as a replacement to RAISEonline. We hope to have this ready in late April/early May. The name of the new service will be announced as soon as confirmed.
• The current RAISEonline service will be available until Monday 31 July 2017. This will allow users to familiarise themselves with the new service and provide feedback before the current one is taken offline.  
• During this period of dual running we will continue to develop the new service and plan to release an updated version in July 2017. During this time, we will also seek your feedback through formal testing and user surveys which are built into the new service. 
• Inspectors will continue to use the data available in the existing summary report and inspection dashboard to prepare for inspections, until 2017 datasets are released in the autumn term.

We have scheduled training from our expert facilitators to take you through the new system and ensure that you are comfortable with how it all works and where to find all of the data you, as a school, need.  We have built in a little leeway into our date to try to ensure that the training will coincide with the release of the 2017 data.

These sessions will fill very quickly so we are offering you the opportunity to book your slot now - if we have to change the date we will advise as quickly as possible.
