The governor training session was excellent—focused, relevant, and tailored to the ISI framework. We now feel much more confident in our oversight and strategic role.

Chair of Governors, Independent Prep School

Our Governor and trustee training provides support for Governors to help them carry out their duties effectively. The training sessions can be booked as a full programme or as individual sessions.

Training sessions can be delivered virtually by zoom or face to face and each last 2 hours.

JMC has extensive experience working with governors and trustees in the education sector including:

  • Maintained school governing bodies
  • Academy trust boards
  • International and Independent Schools

We also offer a full external School Governance Review which consists of a day in the school working alongside the Governing Body to judge the quality of Governance and identify strengths and areas for development.

“The importance and significance of outstanding governance and leadership across our education system, in every school in England, has never been greater. The role of governors in defining and implementing strategy whilst holding the leaders of schools and trusts to account has to be the foundation upon which a world class education system is built.”
