Following the Education Act 2005, governing bodies are no longer required to produce a governors’ annual report to parents. This has now been replaced by the School Profile which is completed by schools and published online.

The format of this profile has been agreed by ministers following consultation with schools, local authorities, governors, parents and pupils. It will include, where relevant, sections on the college’s performance, pre-populated with data supplied by the DfES, as well as narrative sections for the college to complete that include the following headings:

• What have been our successes this year?
• What are we trying to improve?
• How have our results changed over time?
• How are we making sure that every child gets teaching to meet their individual needs?
• How do we make sure our pupils are healthy, safe and well-supported?
• What have we done in response to Ofsted?
• How are we working with the parents and the community?

The college has just been informed that the proforma will be live from the end of January and we will publicise the completed document as soon as possible.
