2026- 27 Training Programme
The Education Team offer regular briefings for Headteachers and Chairs of Governors to update them on current education issues and provide support. These, along with the support and training for new church school leaders and Year 6 Celebration, are offered to all of our church schools at no charge.
The team provides a comprehensive training programme for governors, headteachers and school leaders, clerks, teaching staff and clergy. Most of these courses include unlimited places to schools with a 2026-27 Partnership Agreement. Course fees for non-partnership schools are indicated in the Training and Support Partnership Agreement and on the online booking forms.
The majority of our training and briefing meetings are held online via Zoom unless indicated in the schedule. However, we have increased the number of face-to-face events and developed an even wider variety of high-quality training and support opportunities through our ongoing collaboration with the Diocese of Worcester.
