Programme Summary
Our governance programmes are centred around ensuring that all academy staff undertake statutory training and that our governors are well-trained to undertake their roles.
Our statutory training for all staff includes

At induction and then annually thereafter, we ask trustees and governors to complete safeguarding training and data protection training as a minimum. Governors also undertake specific training related to their key responsibilities at Great Schools Trust.
