How to book Whole Governing Body Training (WGBT)

All schools and PRUs will be entitled to a Whole Governing Body or Management Committee Training session as part of the Suffolk Package.
For many, this often proves to be the most effective form of training because the topic is more relevant to the particular school or PRU. An increasing number of governing bodies are using this opportunity to train staff and governors together.

Governing bodies are invited to discuss their requirements with their Link Adviser or Governor Training personnel. Where possible a session will be provided that is tailored to the specific needs of the governing body or management committee. (It will not usually be possible to repeat courses from the Central Programme at WGBT/MC sessions). The list below might help with your choice.

  • SEN Funding and Budget Monitoring
  • Health and Safety
  • The Ten Year Childcare Strategy
  • Healthy Living: Fitness for the Future
  • Reducing Exclusions/Managed Moves
  • Attendance
  • Governing Body Health Check
  • Race Equality
  • Raising Achievement
  • Every Child Matters - an overview
  • Governing Body Effectiveness in Meetings
  • Governing Body Delegation Arrangements
  • Governors Visiting the School
  • Governor Roles and Responsibilities
  • Governor Roles in Ensuring Staff Well-being
  • The Ofsted Self-Evaluation Form (SEF)
