Membership Executive Committee

Membership

Membership is open to all governing bodies of Kent Schools (including academies).  Individual governors will be deemed members by virtue of being members of a governing body in the Association.

Executive Committee

The KGA Executive meets 3 times a year.  Its members represent each of the KCC districts and they attend the District Governor Briefings to gather concerns, opinions and queries and feedback information from the KGA.  The Executive meetings are regularly attended by Governor Support and other KCC officers, which enables members to influence decision making with regard to the services provided for both our governing bodies and schools.

Vacancies currently exist in Shepway, Dover, Canterbury, Dartford and Gravesham.  If you are interested in becoming an executive member please contact the KGA Chair, Deborah Bruce, via email at deborahjbruce@aol.com

County Assemblies

County Assemblies are held three times a year and are regularly attended by county councillors, Cabinet members and senior KCC officers.  They enable governors to hear about local policy and procedure directly from those responsible for it, to ask questions and offer opinions.  Assemblies add to governor training by providing up-to-date information and the opportunity for governors to see their own school governance in a county context.  A forum enables governors to share information, concerns and questions.  All members of KGA are welcome to attend, free of charge, but we ask that you book in using CPD Online so that sufficient refreshments can be provided.
