Academy trust governance

DfE has published an updated “menu” of the (huge) portfolio of “Guidance and Resources” publications that they produce in respect of the above.

Please see below for a few “highlights” items (drawn from the overall set of 25 categories) that I have placed in my “Must read first” sub-group

  • Statutory guidance and requirements
  • Safeguarding, SEND and pupil wellbeing
  • Governance duties, skills, behaviours and knowledge
  • Financial governance
  • External reviews of governance
  • Recruitment and professional development
  • Sex and relationship education
  • Converting to academy status
  • School behaviour
  • School and pupil performance and use of data
  • School complaints

Click here to access the full set of the academy trust governance publications available from DfE.

If you would like to review any aspect of academy trust governance (whether on a “broad brush” or a “gory detail” basis), do please contact me at jack@jackminto.com or on 017514 499238 for a preliminary discussion about how that might be undertaken (or indeed, for a basic and more general chat about what I do).

Training For Governors

In the constantly evolving field of schools governance, it is clear that governors (particularly Chairs of Governing bodies) need to regularly keep abreast of
(i)     changes in legislation,
(ii)   developments in policy and
(iii)  evolving expectations of governance.

We also know that Ofsted now places ever-greater emphasis on general training for Governors (regarding such as part of CPD for governors).

Accordingly, I have developed a number of governance training modules – being both
(a) bespoke training (i.e. particularly for Chairs of Governors) and (b) more general periodic updates on governance topics for governors.

I am also happy to undertake one-to-one mentoring work with governors who have become Chairs of Governing bodies.

For more details on how my training modules might meet your needs (or indeed, for a basic and more general chat about what I do) please contact me by email on jack@jackminto.com – or by telephone on 07514 499238.
