When the going gets tough....great Governors get going!
The context of effective school governance has never felt so challenging. Balancing challenge and support where there are significant funding gaps, a staff recruitment and retention crisis and a wellbeing crisis among staff and pupils can be a delicate tight rope. With record numbers of vacant Governor posts, school governance can feel like an uphill struggle. In this session that will focus on effective leading for change in challenging circumstances. Carole Bennett CEO of HFL Education will remind us of the value we can add in our roles of Governors, both individually and as a team and share some key lessons from her time as a leader in education around raising standards and enabling students and staff to flourish.
