Issue - meetings

(1)       The Head of Governor Services reported that the attendance given for Mr B Naughton at meetings of the Governing Body at Victoria Road Primary School was 72% rather than 64% as had been reported to the previous meeting.  The Panel therefore agreed to his appointment.

(2)       The Panel agreed to the re-appointment of Mr A Ellis to the Governing Body of Dartford Grammar School for Girls as the Head Teacher had written a letter explaining the reason for his low attendance rate and because his attendance had been 83% prior to his previous re-appointment in 2005.

(3)       The Panel agreed to the re-appointment of Mrs P Marshall to the Governing Body of Madginford Park Junior School because it considered that her attendance was likely to improve and due to the very strong recommendation of the Chairman of the Governing Body.

(a)   Mrs J Crampton – Dymchurch Primary School;
