There has been a lot of focus on what the University is doing to directly tackle Covid-19 and its impact on society. One key civic commitment by the University is to aide local schools and colleges throughout the year with their challenges and direction. The University is pleased to announce the latest development in achieving this goal is the creation of a peer support and centralised resources hub using Microsoft Teams.
The University of Liverpool School Governors Team will be an area for conversation, sharing developments and the latest resources. The aim is ensure you are a confident and informed Governor, supported to influence the direction of education for our young people. Experienced governors already signed up to the scheme will receive an invitation to join the Team soon.
If becoming a school governor is something you’d like to achieve and you are interested in finding out more, national charity Governors for Schools are in need of your skills and insight, now more than ever.
Governors for Schools is holding a webinar on Friday 1st May at 11am, so that you can learn more about what governors do, and how you can prepare for the role. Register your place here.
Governors who can support with strategic leadership will have a big impact on education during what is the most challenging time in recent history.
Schools are under immense pressure – managing children’s welfare and school staff’s safety while helping children continue to learn. While schools may not be ready to focus on governor recruitment immediately, we know that they will need committed and effective leadership in place once they’re running at full capacity. A strong governing board will be vital to support a school in tackling challenges they’ve never encountered before.
