1) Public and Non-Public Reports

In answer to a Governor’s question, the Town Clerk explained that the decision on whether a report should be considered in public or not was guided by recommendations from report authors. That said, she stated that reports were considered in public unless they contained information as defined by Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 and most often this was as a result of the report containing sensitive information relating to an individual (paragraph 1) or information relating to the financial or business affairs of a particular person (paragraph 3). She explained that ‘person’ in this sense meant a legal person, which could be an individual or a legally constituted organisation.

2) School Productions

A Governor enquired whether her fellow Governors had had the opportunity to attend any of the School’s recent productions and also those which had been undertaken in association with the Boy’s School. She praised the staff and girls on the excellent productions and encouraged Members to attend such events in future.

3) Past Pupil

A Governor referred to a recent Alumnus of the School who had read the first lesson at a recent event at the Innholder’s Hall and he reported that she had been a credit to the School.
