To elect a Chairman in line with Standing Order 29.

An election was conducted in line with Standing Order 29. Ian Seaton, being the only Governor wishing to serve, was elected Chairman for the ensuing year.

The Chairman thanked his fellow Governors for their support. He added his welcome to Governors who had recently joined the Board, and emphasised the commitment required from a Governor of one of the City Schools, namely the requirement to be familiar with safeguarding issues and to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

The Chairman noted that this was the Head’s last meeting prior to moving on to her new role, and that a Farewell Dinner would be held on 22 June 2017 at the School.

A Governor noted with regret the passing of Alderman Sir Paul Judge.
