Leicester Teaching School (LETS)
The Local Authority is working with the Leicester Teaching School who continues to offer a wide range of virtual governor courses. Details of the current courses can be found on the 2020/2021 workshop flyer.
If you are a primary governor whose school is part of the Closing the Gap Initiative/governance support project, you are entitled to a fully funded place on the following courses:
- Holding School Leaders to Account
- SEND for Governors
- The Inspection Dashboard
- Effective Governance
- Disadvantaged Pupils
- Safeguarding for Governors
Please contact us on governors@leicester.gov.uk if you are unsure whether your school is part of the project.
All of the workshops are run online and further details and how to book a place can be found on the attached flyer. The booking process is the same whether your place is fully funded or at a charge of £30 to the school. Please let your school know if you book a place so that it can include any charge in its budget monitoring procedures.
