Committees

Finance and Personnel

The Finance & Personnel Committee (F&P) is responsible for agreeing and monitoring the three year school budget in line with the funding available and that it meets all of the legislative requirements and guidance as well as meeting the schools individual needs and responsibilities as identified via the school’s ‘School Improvement Plan’.

The committee also helps the school to plan, agrees and approves the level of staff employed within the school and again ensuring that all of our legislative employment responsibilities are managed.
In addition, the committee has a responsibility to assist the school in ensuring that the school complies with all Financial and Personnel requirements in reporting to Warwickshire County Council.

Performance and Standards

This committee is responsible for monitoring how well pupils at Milverton achieve and make progress, as well as discussing with the school all the policies which set out what children will be taught at school – this includes relationships and sex education, special educational needs, and extra-curricular activities.

We also keep an eye on policies which affect everyone’s life at school, like race equality and equal opportunities, and the home-school agreement. The committee works with the school to keep the prospectus accurate, attractive and up-to-date. We monitor attendance, and keep under review the progress the school is making in enabling children to stay safe, be healthy, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution, and eventually to achieve economic well being. We also review the school’s child protection policy and procedures annually.

Chair: Hannah Stephenson
