School Governors

The role of the school governor has become increasingly important as governing bodies are expected to make long term strategic decisions for the future of their schools. We are very fortunate in South East Wales to have committed governors who give freely of their time to their schools, providing support and challenge with the overall aim to raise standards in education.

To enable governors to fulfil this role, the governor support and development team:

• Provide governors with the mandatory & strategic development training programme
• Provide an effective and efficient governing body clerking service
• Provide timely and relevant advice and support on all school governance issues.

The Governor Support & Development Service for Torfaen has moved to the South East Wales Regional Consortium, the Education Achievement Service.
