The Finance, Personnel & Premises Sub Committee met on Friday.
This sub committee meets twice every term and covers issues ranging from the
strategic (such as approving the school budget, agreeing staffing arrangements,
and monitoring major capital projects) through to important operational issues (such
as checking that the fire drill has been carried out correctly).
This meeting was heavily focused on our planned investment
in Technology. We need to invest in the infrastructure to make sure that we
have robust systems that are easy to maintain and upgrade. However, we are
working really hard to try and make sure that as much of our financial
investment as possible directly benefits the children. Clare Rudd is doing a great job talking to other local schools about
best practice in this area and meeting with IT companies. She also spoke to the
Staff and Pupils to make sure that we are meeting their needs. We look forward
to telling you more about this project soon.
This is also the end of the Financial Year for the school
and we are busy setting budgets for the next year. The Sub Committee regularly
looks at the income and expenditure position of the school; it is in a healthy financial position and we
are looking forward to the year ahead.
