Training for Governors
Being a school governor is an immensely rewarding role and the opportunity to make a significant impact on the life and work of the school and the local community.
All Governors have three key roles:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
- Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
Church school governors have the additional role in developing and upholding the distinctive ethos upon which their school was founded. The Education Team at the Diocese of Chichester provide a wide range of training and opportunities to support Church school governors in their roles.

All governors should attend governor specific Local Authority Safeguarding training during their induction (Keeping Children Safe in Education 2023).
