Hey everyone! Last monday we had a lecture for what is ed with Steve Gullick again. He carried on the topic of the governing body.
This time, he told us all about the contact between the school governors and teaching staff. And they are:
- Job interviews
- Informal visits to schools
- Celebrations e..: school concerts and productions
- Presntations at governing body meetings
- Link governors and their visits, e.g.: for SEN and for eah subject
- Staff disciplinary committee meetings
He also told us that a head teacher can physically stop a parent, police etc coming into the school but they cant stop inspeectors and governors; which i found very intersting. He also told us in detail the process of the staff disciplinary hearings. And the process of the headteacher sending out letters, the clerks role and also the four possible verdicts. Which were:
- No charge whatsoever
- 1st written warning
- Last warning
- Dismissal -> Appeal?
He also went back to a topic of last weeks lecture, which was: Should we have experts as governors? And would this cause tension?
All in all very intersting lecture, toodles!
