NCPTA Governors Briefing 2008
The latest information from NCPTA which is tailored to be of special interest when working with Governors. Please do feel free to pass this on to your colleagues and to encourage anyone interested in learning further or asking me any questions to contact me as per the details below.
The two items that you may find especially interesting are ;
- those relating to the legal status of the PTA of schools including their insurance cover for their activities as this is often outside the remit of the school insurance
- the rewards and awards schemes for 2009 which have just been launched

Food Policy in Schools - A Strategic Policy Framework for School Governing Bodies, Catering and Food Procurement Supplement
The NGA in partnership with the Department for Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has published a supplement to the NGA/FSA Food Policy in Schools - a strategic policy framework for school governing bodies. The main food policy document guided governing bodies through the process of developing a whole school food policy and the issues to consider on each aspect of school food. The supplement advises governors on how to produce whole school policy statements to promote healthy food and improve sustainability and efficiency in their procurement of food and provision of catering services. The document has separate sections covering: Defra's Public Sector Food Procurement Initiative, Sustainable Schools, the Year of Food and Farming and Growing Schools. The final section provides information and links to further guidance and resources.
The document is available to download from the publications (guidance) section of the NGA website - http://www.nga.org.uk/gdncedocs.aspx
The main Food Policy Document can also be downloaded from the NGA website or ordered in hard copy from the NGA office.
