Governors provide critical strategic leadership for school communities leading to high aspirations for children and young people. They support school leaders, through constructive challenge, to promote school development and improvement. Governors need to be confident in their roles and able to monitor and account for their effectiveness as a board.
This work is at best driven by a school's Christian vision, and the training provided by ODBE and via the School Adviser team supports this.

More information about our support for schools can be found on the ODBE Service Level Agreement (SLA) pages. Schools signed up to our SLA are also able to buy Governance+ which enables all governors to attend our online governor training at no additional cost.
