Report of the Headmistress of the City of London School for Girls.

The Board considered a report of the Headmistress updating Governors on a number of matters including Governors visiting days, the gymnasium extension project and seeking approval to revisions to the Pupil and Parent Data Protection Policy.

The Head referred to recent visits by Governors to the School and stated that staff and pupils were always very pleased to welcome Governors spending time in the School, either attending lessons in a particular subject or shadowing a particular year group. She added that any Governor wishing to do so was asked to contact her Secretary to make the necessary arrangements.   

The Chairman referred to the recent positive Independent Schools Inspectorate’s (ISI) inspection of the school and reported that, whilst an official decision was yet to be issued, the indications were that it had been an outstandingly good inspection with very good results on the various categories throughout the School. He expressed the Board’s sincere congratulations and thanks to the Head, her staff and the Governors who had assisted in making this inspection so hugely successful.

The Chairman reminded Governors that their Dinner would be held on 24 March 2015.

RESOLVED – That the contents of the report be noted and that the Board approved the Pupil and Parent Data Protection Policy (Revised January 2015) as set out at Appendix B to the report.
