The TRC would wish to thank all those who have volunteered to be Transferor Governors in the school period 2018–2022. These evenings will give us the opportunity to outline the unique role of a Transferor Governor, and to meet with Transferor Governors and find out how TRC and CSSC can support them in their role.

Attendees will be able to meet with members of TRC and find out how TRC represents the Transferor Governors at all levels in education.

If you’re interested in coming along, please do check out the following video which provides an outline of the role, and its opportunities and responsibilities in promoting a Christian ethos in schools.
