Governance

On 1^st April 2018 Carshalton High School for Girls joined the Girls’ Learning Trust (GLT) and the systems of CHSG governance changed significantly. The 3 schools (CHSG, Nonsuch and Wallington) in the GLT are governed by a Trust Board, comprised of 8 trustees and a Chief Executive Officer. This board is responsible for;

• The overall vision of the Trust;

• The finances of the schools in the Trust;

• The human resources within the 3 schools;

• The performance of the schools in the Trust;

• Admissions (Delegated to Carshalton LGB);

• Accountable for major building projects.

Each school has a Local Governing Body (LGB) which reports to the Trust at trust board meetings. The LGB is responsible for:

• Admissions;

• The school’s curriculum;

• Attendance;

• Special Educational Needs and Pupil Premium students;

• Safeguarding in line with trust policy;

• Health and safety in line with trust policy;

• Local premises issues.

The Carshalton LGB meets on average four times a year, once in the autumn and spring terms, twice in the summer term. Some of the LGB’s responsibilities are delegated to two committees which meet termly, the Curriculum Committee and the Premises Committee.

The Chair of the LGB is Mr Malcolm Munro, the Vice-Chair Mr Paul Harding. The Chair and Vice-Chair are appointed by the Trust Board annually. A full list of the present governors is set out below together with their responsibilities. Any governor can be contacted by writing to them via the school.
