Future-proofing your finances – the challenges ahead
Thursday 18 March 2010 (9.00 am – 4.00 pm). To be held at Top of the Terrace, Norwich City Football Club, Carrow Road, Norwich, NR1 1JE
This is one of the most important Keynote Conferences of recent times. Indeed, it is so important that NCC Childrens Services have moved the venue to Norwich City Football Club and it will be free.
This conference is intended for three or four members of your school community (Head, Chair of Governors, Business Manager/Bursar/Chair of Finance).
Given the looming financial issues and falling rolls that face our schools, we urge all schools to send three or four people to this conference. There will be no charge for any school, regardless of whether it subscribes to the Learning Diamond and irrespective of numbers sent.
‘Working together towards the 21st Century School’This conference was to be offered to governors and clerks in Norfolk to take place on the 13th March in Norwich and the 26th March in King’s Lynn. In the meantime NGN will be offering a short conference for governors and clerks at County Hall on the 12 June (9.30am to 12.30pm) and further details will be published in due course. As governors we are very aware of the increasing challenges of governance particularly at a time of ever diminishing resources. We would really like to hear from colleagues what further help and guidance NGN, Governor Services and the Education Authority could offer to support governors at this time and welcome your comments on this addressed to the Chair (email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Norfolk Disabled Parents Alliance is running a new project – Access All Schools - to raise awareness of what schools could do better to help disabled parents support their children’s learning.
The 14-19 Reforms will have a big impact on the way secondary schools work and it is very important that governors are aware of changes and engaged in the process. You will probably have heard of the 2 major reforms, the 14-19 Entitlement and the Raising of the Participation Age (RPA).
Martin Sale, Chair of NGN, welcomed 88 attendees to the NGN Autum Conference, held at county hall on 21st November 2009. Download the full report of the conference
