Kent has almost 7,000 governors and our work is to ensure they are effectively supported through training and development.
To do this, we run a core Governor Training Programme. Details of the full annual programme are available by following the links below and a copy is sent to all governors and clerks early in the autumn and we also publish two programme updates during the year one in the spring and one in the summer which are circulated to all governors and clerks via our publication 'The Governor'.
How we help schools
Last year, 411 training sessions were held with over 4,500 governors participating. We are delighted that evaluations show a very high level of satisfaction of our training. Governor Services publish an annual report each year to share our successes.
If you have any specific Training Needs, please contact us to see how we can help.
