The last decade has seen a transformation in the structure and form of school governance across England with the introduction of the academy trust. Academy governance has evolved as a distinct form of school governance compared to that delivered within the maintained sector for a range of reasons.
This unique Level 4 course has been newly created to help meet the specific needs for effective governance in academy schools. You will learn skills not readily available from other courses in schools management. In particular, the course focuses on the governance needs of multi-academy trusts (MATs), and how solid and consistent governance and standards can be implemented across several schools.
This programme is open entry, with no prior qualifications required and is suitable for those who work in a governing, management or administrative (non-teaching) role in new or converted academies.
There is a greater need than ever before for high quality clerks who can provide the skills and knowledge that are crucial to the long-term success of a school.
Offered by the National Governance Association and accredited by us, this Level 3 certificate provides the skills and knowledge needed by the modern professional clerk.
This is a flexible programme designed for both new and experienced clerks working in schools, single or multi-academy trusts, course features include 360° diagnostic review, peer-to-peer and group learning, support with completing a school-based project and completion of a personal learning log to record areas for further development after the programme ends.
