Board papers Why- What- Recommendations- Follow-up.

During inspection- meetings How have governors, staff and key stakeholders been involved in developing the strategic plan? How are governors selected and are they representative? Are there effective arrangements to ensure that governors have the skills to be able to challenge senior managers? Do governors have an accurate understanding of the strengths of the college and are they clear about what action is taking place to secure improvement? What arrangements are there for consulting with learners and key stakeholders? How effectively does the Governing body monitor and judge its own performance?
