Agenda item

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

Governors considered a report of the Headmistress providing an update on compliance matters at the City of London School for Girls and the following points were made:

• Accessing up-to-date building statutory compliance documentation held on the Micad Property Management System remained a challenge.  The School continued to liaise with the City Surveyor’s Department which had provided verbal assurance that all centrally managed records required for an ISI inspection could be made available on request.  The Micad Property Management System would be updated shortly which would enable documentation to be uploaded faster.

• Good progress had been made in completing the Fire Risk and Health and Safety Audits and it was anticipated that all remaining outstanding actions would be completed by February 2021.  An action plan was being developed to introduce further health and safety improvements in key areas, including science laboratories.  In response to a question from the Chairman, the Compliance Manager confirmed that staff training would be delivered by both the City of London Corporation and the Compliance Manager.  The School was working with the City of London School to develop a business case to establish a shared Health and Safety Apprentice position.

RESOLVED, that the current position be noted.
