You will also attend 2 workshops during the day, selected from the following 4 options: Workshop A - A Governor's role in supporting staff wellbeing Touching on the national agenda for Mental Health in education, this one-hour workshop focuses on the effect of appropriate planning and strategies on implementing good practice in your educational setting. The session will provide an overview of mental health issues and is designed to help governors support pupil and staff wellbeing Workshop B - Effective Governor monitoring One of the three core functions of all governing bodies is to hold executive leaders to account. Ofsted will review how effectively governors are monitoring the school's improvement plans when making their judgement on leadership and management. This session will explore what governors should be monitoring, including practical solutions and examples of what effective governor monitoring looks like, different structures for monitoring improvement, and options for how governing bodies can be organised to ensure they meet their monitoring duties. Workshop C - What Governors' need to know about the curriculum and the 'three i's' This workshop will explore Ofsted's new 'quality of education' judgement and what it really means for a school and its curriculum. It will look into the 'three i's': intent, implementation and impact, and what the role of governance should look like within this structure. The session will identify areas where schools may be struggling with adapting to the new framework and how governors can be supporting with this. Workshop D - Developing an effective parental engagement strategy The new Ofsted Framework and the 2019 governance handbook both place a stronger emphasis on parental engagement; this is a significant change to the content of the previous governance handbook. This workshop will explore the key aspects of a strong parental engagement strategy that enables the board to effectively use the view of parents to inform strategic direction. Other sessions during the day will be: Ethical Leadership within Schools, delivered by Nina Kemp, Headteacher of Whitmore Primary in Basildon. What's culture got to do with it? - School Improvement in a MAT, delivered by Dr Tesca Bennett, Executive Principal of Haberdashers' Aske's Knights Academy. |
