Outstanding Governors Award 2014

In association with Herts for LearningNew 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.

Less than a month for SEN consultation

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.

To review all the documents and participate in this consultation you need to go online at:
