Wolverhampton City Council - Governors Termly Newsletter

Governors termly newsletter

As part of the support we offer, governors receive a termly newsletter giving brief details of what is happening locally and nationally in terms of school governance.

Newsletters are distributed each term with meeting papers.

Articles for inclusion in the newsletter should reach the Governor Training Co-ordinator at each half term if you wish them to be included in the following term’s newsletter.

If you have an idea for an article and would like to discuss it further, contact:

Pam Waldron
