This two hour briefing will support leaders to develop robust processes to accelerate pupil progress and enhance the impact of Venning.

Inform and update governors on current local and national issues relating to schools and the work of the Governing Board. A school to school approach, combined with the increased focus on school governance, will require governing boards to consider how all governors can work collectively, not just in their own schools, but across the wider ‘governor community’. The forums will facilitate governor networking and information gathering through high quality presentations that facilitate discussion and information sharing among peers.

As a new governor, you might be wondering how to start getting involved with the work of your governing board.

Induction is essential for all new governors to help understand their roles and responsibilities and effective boards should encourage everyone involved in governance, especially those new to the role, to make the most of the resources, guidance and training available to develop their knowledge and skills. Good induction can provide strategies and the basic knowledge to enable new governors to take an active role and make a
positive difference right from the start.

In a world where the education system and the expectation on governance is changing, existing governors wishing to update their governance may also find attendance beneficial.

Is this course for you?

This is an advanced course and assumes you regularly enter formulas on worksheets and are confident using the calculation techniques covered in the Performing Calculations course.

At the end of the course, you will be able to use some of Excel's more advanced functions, such as IF and VLOOKUP.  You will know how to construct 3D formulas taking data from multiple sheets and how to set data validation for cells.

This is an opportunity for Chair's of Governors to attend a networking session facilitated by Karen Marr of the East Sussex Governors Forum (ESGF). This event will provide an opportunity for Chairs to network and discuss any topical issues related to being a Chair of a governing board.

This course is for you if you are familiar with the topics covered in the Introduction to Macros and want to further develop your coding skills in Excel.

Writing Macros involves inputting lines of sometimes complex program code, so the course involves considerably more typing than other Excel training.

High-quality induction ensures that new governors and trustees can hit the ground running. This networking session will support the induction process for new governors by providing an opportunity for new governors to come together to network and to raise and discuss any questions or issues they have with other new governors and with members of the East Sussex Governors' Forum. We welcome any new governors to attend this session. Governor mentors or buddies are welcome to attend the session.
