 Teacher  Business Manager/finance elements  Extended School/Community  Admissions  SLT link for all Support staff with direct responsibility for Site, IT, Catering  SLT link for 2 smaller depts

 We are attempting to create a coherent approach to our planning for what was traditionally known as “Extended Schools” by creating one working document that can be used for our: ◦ Academy Development Plan ◦ Co-curriculum sub-committee Terms of Reference

1. To receive reports on how relative funding streams are utilised by the Academy and monitor progress on external funding applications (JNN) 2. To monitor and review the impact of enrichment activities on students, specifically Pupil Premium (inc LAC), Gifted, Talented (JNN, DFo, CCL,HJ, RRE) 3. To monitor and review educational visits, including residentials (CC/JNN) 4. To monitor and review community use of the academy premises and grounds, including the financial position of community (IL/JNN)

5. To monitor and review the impact of community “projects” (IL) 6. To actively promote partnership working between the academy and the local voluntary and community sector (IL/JNN) 7. To encourage innovation, creativity and enterprise by students and staff through business links and offer genuine partnership opportunities that benefit all parties (JNN/JDavoile) 8. To receive and consider revisions to policies which relate directly to the work of this committee (SDa)

Pro’s  Generates 15K income towards a post we are not able to afford ourselves  Flexible role that supports other areas, e.g. First Aid, Minibus, Design & Technology Con’s  Could argue the Site Manager should be able to pick up some items  Need a flexible partner school  Need a self-motivated, trusted individual who can manage their own time and workload

Pro’s  Generates income of circa £25k  Strengthen relationships with Primaries  Supports admissions process Con’s  Need to balance overstaffing against income  Very difficult to maintain if staff leave or are absent, especially if it is PPA cover  Need to be realistic of outcomes

 Buy – in from teaching staff is essential, from working up a bid through to implementation  If the FD is not directly involved in the bid, make sure they have been consulted on any financial elements, with VAT liability worth noting for elements of capital works  An initial meeting with one key person can make or break the bid – the difficult part is finding out who that key person is  Attention to detail is still hugely important, even when it’s not your money!
