Diocesan Governor Conference 2010
Posted Wed 28 July 2010

Bookings are now well underway for our Governor conference to be held on the 6th November 2010 at All Saints Primary, Boughton green Road, Northampton.

We are delighted that Bishop Donald will be joining us to share with us his vision for Church schools working in mission in our diocese. This, together with Lyn Field and Neville Norcross from the National Society, creators of the Values4churchschools, web site, will make this morning conference a highlight in our programme from diocesan training in the 2010/11 church school year.

Please encourage all church school governors to book a place and come and share in the teaching and worship. There will be opportunities to take part in workshops to explore the impact of the values agenda on school management, sites, pupil behaviour, school appointments, curriculum, and outreach. Details are in the governor section of this web site. If you could indicate when booking, if you would like lunch to be provided, this would help in our catering arrangements, thank you.

The conference is free to all governors whose schools are in the diocesan SLA. Bookings from schools outside the SLA are warmly encouraged, however please do ring the office on 01604 887006 for details of the cost.
