N.B. THIS IS AN ONLINE MEETING.  IT STARTS AT 9:30AM

This is an informal group where clerks from all school governance settings can meet to share issues and ask questions in a confidential space, supported by the RGA Clerk.  There is no agenda and no pre-reading for this event.

Details: Meet with colleagues across wider Reading to discuss the latest challenges we are facing, whether common to us all, or specific to your setting.

Outcomes: Clerking knowledge and practice is strengthened across local governing boards.  Opportunities for cross-collaboration and mentoring are created.

Spring Focus

Hear and discuss the experiences of other clerks and how they plan and conduct business.

Discuss and question the issues covered in BFfC’s Clerking Workshop (31st January) and Clerks’ Briefing (21st February).
