Support for governors and clerks

Annual Governors' Conference

Warwickshire's Annual Governors’ Conference will take place on Thursday 13 June 2019. Confirmed speakers include Ian Budd, the newly appointed Assistant Director for Education at Warwickshire County Council (starting 1 April) and Emma Knights, Chief Executive of the National Governance Association.

Further details, including venue, will be shared in the near future. 


Clerks' briefing well supported

On 13 February, clerks to governors, who are employed by the Warwickshire Clerking Service, were invited to attend a Clerks’ Briefing.

The event was well supported with 13 clerks attending and topics such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), complaint handling and Your HR being discussed. The session gave everyone the opportunity to ‘air and share’ and network with other clerks which was beneficial to all, and feedback positive with clerks commenting on the value of the session. 

The Clerks’ Conference this year will be held on 22 May.  


Celebrating excellence and long service in education across the county

The fifth 'Excellence in Warwickshire' awards took place on Wednesday 6 March in Kenilworth, which celebrates the achievements in education during the previous academic year.

Recognising the hard work and commitment of not only headteachers, but also governors, teaching staff, pupils and key services of the council, the event shone a light on all the contributions that go into keeping schools in the county at a high standard.
