The impact of coronavirus on schools will be a major topic when Norfolk school governors and trustees hold their conference online for the first time ever.
Norfolk Governance Network (NGN), which represents all governors and trustees in the county’s schools, has gone virtual to host its autumn conference.
Anne Gibson, NGN chair, says: “School governance across Norfolk has by necessity gone virtual. It is still extremely important that we connect with each other as governors, support each other and share good practice.”
