Part 2 Tuesday 03 June 2025 with Debbie Yeomans from RE Today

This programme is essential for any new governors and for those who have not accessed DBE training for a while and would benefit from refreshing their knowledge of what it means to be a governor of a church school. This course will give you the firm foundations you need to carry out your role effectively as well as networking and discussion time with other governors in the diocese.

These sessions will be led by the Deputy Director for Education and Debbie Yeomans from RE Today Through the programme you will explore:

What a church school is (and is not)
The importance of ethos and vision
RE in a church school
SIAMS
Collective Worship

This is for ANY governor of a church school not just foundation governors.

Fee for both sessions: PA £125 / Non PA £250 (per school)

PA £25 / Non PA £40 (individual governor)
