MATTERS ARISING

Headmaster as Chair of the Local Governing Body of ARK Bentworth Primary Academy (page 7) – The Chairman reported that the Headmaster had now taken over as the Chairman of the Bentworth Primary Academy and would report on this in greater detail later on in the meeting.

School Cleaning (page 9) – In response to questions, the Second Master was pleased to report that cleaning standards were continuing to improve following weekly meetings with the Supervisor. He went on to state that there was, however, an on-going concern as to the number of cleaners who came into work each day with 3-4 often absent.

The Director of Finance reported that 24 cleaners were deemed adequate for the School but only 20 were reporting for work most days. This caused extra work for the day cleaners who were having to catch up on the deficiencies from the previous evening shift.

In response to further questions, Governors were informed that both CLS and CLSG were on a shared contract for cleaning services.
