Cultural Governor Training

The Governor Training programme has been produced to support School Governors to be better able to examine, understand and reflect upon a school’s cultural education offer.

Delivered either as an in-person training session or an online video, the training covers:

The value of cultural education
Being a critical friend
Being an advocate
Celebrating achievement/ethos

The online video is free to access for School Governors from schools across County Durham.

Governors should complete the following form to receive the password and a brief resource document that accompanies the film. School Governor Contacts

Locomotion

Locomotion, to be found down an apparent road to nowhere called Spout Lane in Shildon, is one of County Durham’s great delights – and a bit of a surprise to many people, you’d imagine. You can’t exactly stumble on the place but who would expect to find a national museum here, off that beaten track whose name (spout meaning ‘seam’ in these parts) reflects the town’s debt to coal?
