school profile

As you are aware, governors are no longer required to produce an annual governors’ report. This has been replaced by the on line School Profile. It is, of course, the governors’ responsibility to prepare and publish the profile (details of how to do this can be obtained from the DfES website – www.dfes.gov.uk).

As well as the relevant statistical information the profile has a section summarising the latest Ofsted report and several narrative sections completed by the school. Although the narrative sections are limited in space to as little as 100 - 200 words it is imperative to highlight your church school foundation. Below are some suggestions.
