Modern Governor New ModuleWe’ve just released our latest e-learning module “Is Governor Mark for Us?”.  Governor Mark is an optional accreditation for Governing Bodies to assess the effectiveness of Governance in their school.  Our module aims to inform Governors of the necessary processes, timescale and involvement required by Governing Bodies to successfully achieve the standard.

Two schools have helped us with the creation of this module – John Kyrle High School in Ross on Wye, Herefordshire and Thomas Reade Primary School in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.  We interviewed the school leadership teams extensively about their experience of Governor Mark accreditation and we present these as case studies to help inform schools who are thinking of applying for Governor Mark accreditation.

We’re also delighted that Phil Hand – a leading light in Governor Mark – gave us his thoughts on the work involved and the main lessons that schools should remember for their application.

More than a third of England’s Local Authorities are offering Modern Governor e-learning modules to their school Governing Bodies.   Accessible online at any time, they provide a cost-effective, timely solution for busy School Governors to learn at a time, place and pace to suit them. 

Modern Governor is a product within the Learning Pool portfolio.  If you’d like to know more about Modern Governor, contact me.
