Governor online forum – Evening session

Governor Online

PLEASE NOTE – OUR SESSIONS ARE ONLY FOR THOSE WORKING IN AND WITH CE SCHOOLS IN THE DIOCESE OF YORK

These hour-long forums give Church school governors the opportunity to learn about new guidance and initiatives, explore existing responsibilities and share best practice. Education Team Officers will provide a question and answer session to meet the current needs of foundation governors and chairs.

No booking is required – All sessions are held online via Zoom with details for each session being circulated in the Monday email. A reminder is also sent to all foundation governors around a week or so before each session, which will include the links to join.

Each term there will be 2 sessions on the same day; 1 at 2.00pm and the other repeated at 7.00pm. Governors are welcome to drop in to whichever session is most convenient for them.

The sessions in the 2026/27 academic year will take place on the following dates;

Wednesday 25th November 2026

Tuesday 16th March 2027

Thursday 20th May 2027

All at 2.00pm & 7.00pm
