STRUCTURED GOVERNANCE A presentation by ASHOK KUMAR, C.E.O INDIAN HIGH SCHOOL, DUBAI
GOVERNANCE – KEY ASPECTS • Providing advice, guidance and ensuring accountability • Representation reflecting the school community and response to stakeholders’ views
GOVERNANCE – ILLUSTRATIVE DESCRIPTIONS • The governing body/ advisory board makes a significant contribution to the leadership of the school and works successfully to support school leaders. The school is fully accountable to the governing body/ advisory board for its performance and quality. • The governing body/ advisory board includes wide representation from all stakeholders. It routinely seeks and responds constructively to their views
GOVERNANCE – PARAMETERS FOR AN OUTSTANDING RATING • The governing body/advisory board provides strategic guidance to the school and holds the leadership of the school to account for its performance. The school gives sufficiently regular and detailed accounts of its performance to the governing body/advisory board and includes comprehensive information regarding the achievement of students and future school priorities. Governance is very effective in ensuring that the school meets its commitment to parents and fulfils statutory requirements. • The school has a governing body/advisory board which is representative of the school community and the context in which it operates. It provides an objective and independent view of the school. There are effective processes in place to ensure that governance in the school reflects the views of all stakeholders. The governing body/advisory board meets regularly to review the school’s work; the meetings are fully minuted and relevant information is distributed amongst stakeholders. This leads to informed and responsive decision-making, helping to direct change and manage school resources efficiently.
