The governor forum is a vibrant group that meets termly, with often 60 plus governors in attendance at each session. It is a safe space to get to know fellow governors and share queries and problems. Governors drive the topics, we often discuss examples of practice that works well and don’t work at all!

This Autumn we are delighted to be joined by James Wilson, Director of Sufficiency, Planning and Education Strategy from the Childrens’ Services Senior Leadership team at Norfolk County Council. James will give us an overview of the findings of the recent consultation that his team has undertaken across the county. It will be a great opportunity for governors to get an insight into the Flourish strategy and to have a Q&A session with James.

The sessions are led by Nania Poulson, VNET’s Operations Director and Ex-Co-Chair of Governors at Heigham Community Federation.

The forum will:

• Provide a strong network of support for governors
• Be driven by the needs of the network
• Give governors the opportunity to share good practice
• Help governors keep up to date with an ever-changing educational landscape
• Focus on a pre-agreed hot topic, such as governor roles, effective monitoring, meeting structures and Ofsted preparation.

This event is for VNET members only.
