The Committee proceeded to discuss the matter of independence, with concerns expressed that Governors of the Board who are also Members of the Court of the Common Council should not be perceived to be any less independent than Co-Opted Governors. It was suggested that the key test of independence, particularly in respect of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, was that Governors were independent from the direct day to day management of the School.

It was further angered that, if there are any concerns that needs to be raised, it be can sent to the Town Clerk at the first instance.
