Please contact BELS.training@Barnet.gov.uk if you need help with this.
Please be reminded that we reserve the right to charge the pay-as-you-use rate to schools for governors who have registered but do not attend.
School-Based Training
Receiving training as a full governing board can be an effective way of engaging your governors in training. Please contact the team with dates in mind if you would like to arrange a school-based training session for you governing board.
Paying for courses
Individual governors are not charged for attending these sessions. If your school has bought into Governor Training, then governors may attend as many sessions as they wish. If you wish to attend a session and your school has not bought into the service, please check with your Headteacher or Chair of Governors before registering. We will then invoice the school – not the governor.
For the cost of annual subscription, please contact Please contact George.Peradigou@barnet.gov.uk
Mailing List
The termly programme of courses is distributed via a mailing list held on the Governor Services database. All Barnet LA schools should ensure our service is kept up to date with changes to their Chair’s and Vice Chair’s email addresses.
