Monday, November 27 at St Peters school Governors Meeting

I was invited to observe the governors meeting. This meeting structure is the same as that of the PCC, with sub-committees doing the real work, and the main meeting overseeing the results, and agreeing the important decisions. Apart from the Rector, and a teacher the governing board is made up entirely of women. The vast majority of these attend church, not necessarily St. Peters, but a church somewhere.
The meeting was largely uneventful, but there was a lot to do, and in some cases the people doing it are also busy doing lots of other things.
If you're a school governor you won't need me to tell you just how much paper work there is to be done. The whole system relies on pieces of paper.
