2.2 Until September 2022, the Governor and Clerking Service used Governors Online and the East Sussex Learning Portal to hold and monitor governor tenure, vacancy and training records. Unfortunately the company which hosted these site went into liquidation. The Governor and Clerking Service has now procured access to the GovernorHub System, which is part of the Key for School Governors that many of our schools already access. This new system will bring together governor and clerking information, training and records into one place and will be a streamline system for governors and clerks to manage their boards and their training needs.
2.3 As the new system is not yet live, we are unable to report on governor vacancies or the number of training places that have been filled since September 2022.This information will be available at the next meeting of the County Consultative Committee (Governors).
