Report of the Headmistress.

The Board considered the report of the Headmistress.  The following key points were noted.

·         The school is keen to welcome Governors to visit the school.  Evidence of Governors’ involvement supports ISI (Independent Schools Inspectorate) compliance.

In response to a question asking what should be prioritised during a Governor visit, the Headmistress said, a Governor visit should be structured with consideration to how Governors discharge their responsibilities for ISI; this could include reviewing teaching and learning; safeguarding responsibility; meeting with girls and staff and seeking their views on the School; checking aspects of Safeguarding or Health and Safety.

·         Prize Day will take place on 6 October 2017.  It was noted the Lord Mayor has expressed an interest in attending the lunch.

·         RESOLVED – that Governors approved the Educational visits, details of which are referred to on page 32 of the report.
