People Cabinet Member – Minutes – 24 March 2015
198 (65) APPOINTMENT OF ADDITIONAL GOVERNOR – SOUTH FERRIBY PRIMARY SCHOOL – The Director of People submitted a report which sought consideration to appoint an additional governor to South Ferriby Primary School’s governing body.
South Ferriby Primary School was inspected by Ofsted in December 2013 and was judged to have serious weaknesses. Subsequently the local authority and governing body were working in partnership to raise standards and attainment and a joint action plan had been agreed which identified priorities for improvement.
The Ofsted monitoring inspection carried out on 22 January 2015 confirmed that the school was making reasonable progress towards the removal of the serious weaknesses designation. A specific recommendation of the joint action plan was to “identify any gaps in governors’ skills and appoint additional governors with appropriate expertise if necessary”.
A joint action plan had been written between the local authority and South Ferriby Primary School governors. The plan identified the need for an additional governor to be appointed and was supported by the governing body.
Resolved – That the following persons be appointed as an additional governor at South Ferriby Primary School, subject to the relevant CRB checks:
South Ferriby Primary School Mrs R Hoyle
