As with your schools, COVID-19 also radically changed the way in which the RGA has interacted with its members this year.  The move to online training proved a little tricky for us initially (school governors are not usually at the cutting edge of technology, after all!), but we have seen attendance climb steadily throughout the year, and from surveying our members it seems clear that we will be offering a blended approach next year, safety permitting.  The increasing demand for support to our local colleagues has led to the introduction of a new Finance network for governors, and we are looking to extend networking support for clerks next year too.

The remaining Summer events are shown here on our home page, and culminate with our Summer Conference and AGM on 29th June.  AGM papers will be circulated by 15th June, and will also be available via this page.  As the RGA board consists of volunteers, we are continually searching to improve our strength and breadth of experience, and so would be very happy to welcome any new members who would like to extend their impact on local governance, and associated outcomes for Reading children, beyond their own schools.  Do please get in touch with me if this is of interest to you, and as always, the RGA is here to collaborate with you and share advice and examples of best practice.  Keep looking at this page for all the latest news and updates.
