Fulfilling the Chair’s Role is a CPD‑accredited programme designed to support chairs of governors and trustees in leading highly effective boards in maintained schools and academy trusts.
Governance guidance makes clear that the chair, supported by the vice chair, is responsible for the effective functioning of the board. This includes setting expectations, providing leadership and direction, ensuring accountability, and enabling all governors to contribute effectively. For those new to the role, this responsibility can feel challenging; for experienced chairs, it presents an opportunity to reflect, refine, and reinvigorate leadership practice.
This bespoke programme builds confidence, capability, and strategic leadership, supporting chairs to lead boards that are focused, professional, and impactful.
