The authority provides a range of training and development opportunities for governors, including a range of courses, an annual conference and a resource library. All governors are encouraged to attend governor training courses.  

If you wish to receive a copy of the latest governor training programme by post, please contact the governor services support team either by phone, 01633 644529, or email governorservices@monmouthshire.gov.uk 

Training is a great way of improving your knowledge and gaining valuable skills. It also enables you to carry out your duties as a school governor effectively to improve outcomes for children and young people. Many of the courses provided have the added benefit of providing transferable skills that can be utilised beyond the school environment.

A spring conference for governors is organised annually that provides a highly valued networking opportunity which encourages the sharing of good practice and an opportunity for informed discussion on current educational issues.

Resources can be ordered through any of Monmouthshire's six libraries or mobile libraries free of charge. They can also be picked up and returned via the library without charge.
