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

The Board considered the public report of the Headmistress detailing matters including forthcoming events, health and safety and staff training and requesting the approval of a number of policies.

In answer to a Governor’s question it was confirmed that the paperwork concerning School trips would be sufficient to cover the wide range of trips organised by the School, including the more adventurous activities. She undertook to:

- send a copy of a previous completed form to Governors via email for their information;

- amend the documents to reflect her title as Headmistress throughout;

- make policy documents available for Mary Robey to spot check on behalf of the Board, as necessary;

- include safeguarding in the list of issues on page 26 of the papers; and

- the policies may need to be amended again in the short term due to further changes in guidance.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted and approval be given to the following policies attached at Annexes B – F of the report concerning:-

Trip Paperwork;

SMSC Statement – Appendix to Collective Worship Curriculum Policies – revised May 2015;

NQT Induction Policy – revised May 2015;

Anti-Bullying Policy September 2014 (amended May 2015); and

Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy and it’s annexes – January 2015 (revised May 2015).
