The Mead Institute for Professional Learning

The Local Authority is working with the Mead Institute for Professional Learning who offer a wide range of online governor courses. 

The 2024/25 courses can be found here.

Booking details are shown on the flyer.  The small charge of £30 per place is a charge to the school, not the individual governor. Courses are free for those schools who participate in the Closing the Gap project. Please let your school know if you book a place so that it can include any charge in its budget monitoring procedures.
