Overview of Learning
This workshop provides guidance and advice on ensuring effective practice in the use of governors’ monitoring visits and activities to hold the senior leader to account.
The session provides opportunities to discuss good practice and share ideas and different approaches to monitoring visits and activities with other governance colleagues. By the end of the session, you will have:
- examined good practice in relation to monitoring and the protocols for arranging and conducting school visits.
- explored, through discussion, the approaches to monitoring school performance undertaken by other boards.
As this is a practical workshop, delegates will be asked to bring to the session copies of their board’s monitoring visits policy/ protocols and any proformas used to record written feedback to the rest of the board. These can be referred to and reflected upon during the workshop. Delegates will receive an email containing guidance and instructions ahead of the session.

Marie Foley, Governance Training Officer

This course will be held in person at the Bolton Science and Technology Centre.
