Clergy including Curates will often find themselves in a parish context where there is more than one Church school and ‘other’ non-church schools where demands may be made, or involvement may be sought/intended.  For many, this will mean serving as an ex-officio Foundation Governor of one or more Church schools. 

The new requirement of Church School Section 48 Inspections[1] (SIAMS) for a ‘Christian vision with theological rootedness’ may place the ex-officio governor in being expected to provide more input into an understanding of both biblical and Church teaching on specific concepts than previously.

Governance Development for Clergy - three sessions are being offered over a three-week period. Each session will have a Moodle Learning page to provide additional optional reading/resources. 

Suitable for Clergy new to parish ministry (i.e. Curates or Priests new to a church/school relationship) and for more experienced clergy.
