Full Governing Body Meeting - September 15th 2014

On Monday evening, we held the first Full Governing Body Meeting of the academic year.

We meet as a full governing body once every half term, providing support to the school as a ‘Critical Friend’. Our activities are wide-ranging and might include approving school policies, reviewing pupil attainment data and planning capital investment.

The first meeting is focused on making sure that the Governing Body is ready for the year ahead. Agenda items included:

-          electing a Chair (Alison Wilkinson) and Vice-Chair (Catherine Wilkinson)

-          confirming the sub-committees for the coming year (Finance, Personnel & Premises; Curriculum & Standards)

-          approving the Governors’ programme of work for the academic year, including how the Governors can support the School Development Plan

-          approving the Minutes from the meeting held in July 2014, and reviewing matters arising from that meeting

-          approving our Instrument of Government and agreeing training priorities for the Governing Body

Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday November 10^th.

If you would like to know more about the work of the Governing Body, please do not hesitate to contact me awilkinson@greatgaddesden.herts.sch.uk

Wishing everyone at Great Gaddesden CoE (VA) School a happy and successful academic year.
