The Interim Executive board for Sherburn
High School was put in place by North Yorkshire County Council
in April 2009. It replaced the Governing Body which was deemed
to be unable to fulfil its statutory responsibilities at a time
of turbulence for the School. The Board performs all the functions
of a normal Governing Body. Its Chair, Chris Lewis can be contacted
via the School.
Mr Geoff Mitchell, Head of Tadcaster Grammar School and his Deputy,
Mr Martyn Sibley led Sherburn High School as Executive Head and
Associate Head until the end of December 2009. They have done a
remarkable job bringing stability and firm leadership to the School
in difficult circumstances. The Board is grateful to them for the
progress they achieved during this temporary arrangement.
During 2009, the Interim Executive board has maintained the business
of school governance and has addressed a number of issues. These
include: The School budget deficit, staffing matters, School self-evaluation
and departmental evaluations, staff training, School Development
Plan, the quality of teaching and learning and raising attainment.
The
appointment of a new Head is always the most important event for
any School. At Sherburn High School, when the vacancy was confirmed,
a national advertisement brought a good field of well-qualified
candidates. After a rigorous selection procedure, Mr Martyn Sibley
was appointed as the person with the best credentials and outstanding
potential. As Mr Sibley takes up his permanent post in January
2010, there is cause for great optimism for the future of Sherburn
High School.
The Interim Executive board will soon be replaced
by a Shadow Governing Body appointed by the Local Authority, prior
to a return to a normally
constituted Governing Body. Meanwhile, the IEB will continue to
support the School and its new Headteacher. |
