New Annual Outstanding Governors Awards
At the annual conference in November HASG announced the Outstanding School Governor Awards 2014, sponsored by the Hertfordshire Association of School Governors, and organised in association with Herts for Learning.
We aim to celebrate outstanding and distinguished service by school governors in Hertfordshire. The winners of the first awards will be announced at the Hertfordshire Governors’ Annual Conference in November 2014.
Nominations Closing date: Friday 23rd May 2014
NOMINATIONS NOW CLOSED..
Awards & Prizes
- Each winning governor (total of three) to be awarded a £50 cash prize
- Prizes of £500 – to be awarded to the schools of the three winning governors, as given on the nomination form. The £500 is to be spent so it directly benefits the students; it is not to be spent on teaching or teachers and we would like the money to be spent on something the school hasn’t already budgeted for.
- All nominators will be put into a prize drawn and three will be drawn at random and be awarded a £25 cash prize.
STOP PRESS
The half-day conference previously announced for May 10th 2014 is no longer taking place, our regular Forums, though, will still provide you with lots of networking and idea sharing opportunities.
Do you have something to say about the Government’s consultation on a new SEN code of practice? If so remember the SEN consultation period closes on 9th December 2013.
The Children and Families Bill, currently in Parliament, will bring changes to the special educational needs (SEN) framework, subject to royal assent.
This consultation proposes replacing SEN statements (for schools) and learning difficulty assessments (for young people in further education and training) with single 0 to 25 education, health and care plans.
