The Grammar School for Girls Wilmington

The Education Bill 2005 has removed the statutory requirement for governing bodies to produce a Governors' Annual Report and to hold an annual parents' meeting.

The original intention behind annual parents' meetings was to ensure that governing bodies were accountable to parents and give parents an opportunity to have their say on any issues which concern them. In reality, meetings were usually poorly attended with some schools frequently citing attendance by only a handful of parents.

Removing the statutory requirement on governing bodies to hold an annual parents' meeting reduces the burden of legislative requirements on school governing bodies, granting greater freedom for school leaders to manage their own relationship and communication with parents.

The Governors' Annual Report and annual parents' meetings have been replaced with the School Profile. Click here to read the profile for our school.

If there are any issues that you wish to discuss, please contact the School Office to arrange an appointment (a meeting may be arranged for all parents if there is sufficient interest).
