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

The Board considered the report of the Headmistress that sought approval the some revised School policies and provided an update regarding School events, visits, staff training and health and safety matters.

In response to a Governor’s question regarding the revised Admissions Policy, the Headmistress advised that she had been in contact with the Heads of feeder schools to assure them that the CLSG would continue to implement the consortium’s style of admissions exam despite no longer being a consortium member.

In response to a Governor’s question regarding the School procedure on education visits, the Headmistress advised that the desired staff to pupil ration was 1:10 but 1:12 was still acceptable for most trips. The Chairman added that this distinction could be made clearer in the policy. In response to a Governor’s suggestion, the Headmistress advised that tracked change versions of the revised policies would be provided next time to highlight amendments to the previously agreed policies.

A Governor added that she had undertaken a School visit on 10 March 2016, which had not been recorded in the report.

RESOLVED – That:-

a)    The Headmistress’ report be noted; and

b)    The revised policies be approved.
