RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the Part I minutes of the meeting held on 5 October 2017 be approved.

To consider the above report.

The Sub Committee considered the latest list of vacancies and candidates for LA representatives to Governing Bodies of Schools in the Royal Borough, as detailed in Section 2.3 of the report.

In relation to All Saints school, they had already taken things forward and were happy with their decision to appoint the candidate they had initially met.

In relations to Woodlands Primary school, there were two applications but the school had not been able to make contact with one of the applicants. The relevant officer had tried to make contact with that candidate but all attempts had been unsuccessful; therefore, the school met the second candidate but felt they did not have to skill set for the position and so the position was not offered. The relevant officer had sent Woodlands Primary School an application for another candidate but, unfortunately, they were also unsuitable as they would be unavailable to attend daytime meetings due to work commitments; that meant there was a vacancy at woodlands Primary School. The relevant officer might be able to offer the position to one of the other candidates that applied for another LA position.

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That Cabinet Local Authority Governors Appointments Sub Committee notes the report and:

i)             The Sub Committee recommend that St Edwards Catholic First School meet both candidates and provide feedback to the administrator. The Sub Committee would support the schools decision.

ii)            Recommended that as Dr Dua did not have the skill set for the position at Wraysbury Primary School; she would be offered the position at Woodlands Park Primary School

iii)           The Sub Committee recommend that Furze Platt Junior School meet both applicants and provide feedback to the administrator. The Sub Committee would support the schools decision.

iv)           The Sub Committee recommend that Wraysbury Primary School offer the position to Mrs S. Thomas.
