The reasons are:
1. On 1st September 2003 the School Governance (Constitution)
(England) Regulations 2003 came into force. These regulations
require all governing bodies to review their composition and
reconstitute with a new Instrument of Government in place by 31st
August 2006. Governing bodies decide when is the best time for them
to do this and still comply with this requirement.
2. The governing bodies listed above approved their draft Instruments of
Government, to comply with the School Governance (Constitution)
(England) Regulations 2003, at their governing body meetings by
means of a governing body resolution.
3. Approval for all the Instruments of Government for the above listed
schools that are Roman Catholic Schools has been sought and received
from the Roman Catholic Schools Commission of the Salford Roman
Catholic Diocese, where appropriate.
4. The legal process for a new Instruments of Government to be made is
by an Order of Salford Local Education Authority, in accordance with
School Governance (Constitution) (England) Regulations 2003.
5. The drafts attached have been drawn up in accordance with the
Regulations.
6. Once approved, the new Instruments of Government will come into
effect from the date shown on the instrument.
Options considered and rejected were:
None - as once the draft Instrument of Government has been approved by the
governing body a new Instrument of Government is required under School
Governance (Constitution) (England) Regulations 2003.
