An introduction to being a trustee for experienced governors webinar Download Flyer
Overview
Becoming a trustee after being a governor in a maintained school may seem like a simple next step in your governance career, but the role can be significantly different and requires a real mindset shift to be an effective trustee.

This webinar provides practical guidance for experienced governors who have become a trustee of a multi-academy trust. It is an ideal refresher for existing trustees on their role and key responsibilities.

The following will be explored:

  • The legal structures of academies
  • Overview of the key differences between maintained schools and academies
  • The three core strategic functions - what is different?
  • The importance of trust vision, ethos and strategy in making a difference
  • Understanding the key 'musts' of the Academies Financial Handbook
  • How to get delegation right - the importance of organisation, communication and information management
  • Understanding responsibilities for risk management and scrutiny
Who should attend?
New trustees or existing trustees who want a refresher.
