All Wales Centre Information

About Us

The All Wales Centre for Governor Training and Research was established in March 2000. Its aims are two-fold, namely to act as a centre for research into school governance with particular reference to governor training, and to provide high quality, practical education and training for school governors. The Centre’s whole-country remit is unique in the United Kingdom.

Since its inception the Centre has produced national training programmes for the Welsh Assembly Government on the governing body roles of strategic planning, target setting and monitoring and evaluation; the role of the clerk; the role of the chair; and handling complaints.

The Centre has also organised a number of national conferences.

Finally, the Centre offers a consultancy and training service which is used regularly by locally authorities and individual governing bodies.

For further information on our consultancy and training service, please contact the Centre Manager.
