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

The policies for approval (Appendices 1 – 12) can be viewed in the separate appendices pack.

Governors considered a report of the Headmistress setting out a number of school policies for approval and the following points were made:

·         The School had a procedure in place to ensure that key policies were read and understood by staff on an annual basis.  Staff were also expected to read and understand policies relating to their area of work.  A summary of any changes to school policies was circulated to all School staff at the start of each term and school policies were available for staff to access at any time.

·         An addendum had been added to the School’s Admissions Policy to outline how the School would deliver a safe admissions process to potential students during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

·         The Compliance Manager would provide more detail on changes to the Fire Safety Policy and Procedures and the Health, Safety and Wellbeing Policy to the Deputy Chairman after the meeting.
