Meeting minutes are a key source of evidence to stakeholders, including Ofsted, which demonstrate how effectively the Governing Board is discharging its core strategic governance responsibilities.
It is key that whole Governing Board and Committee minutes accurately reflect the degree of challenge from Governors and how decisions made have supported and challenged the school in improving outcomes for its pupils.
This session is non-chargeable for those Governors whose schools have purchased an annual Governance contract.
This key development session will look at:
– Good practice with regards to effective minute taking;
– Exploring the key components of effective minutes, including language that should be used; and
– How Governor challenge could be evidenced.
There will also be ample opportunity for Clerks to ask questions throughout the session.
