Governance of Millennium Integrated Primary School

Millennium is a Grant-Maintained Integrated (GMI) school, which means that it is managed by its Board of Governors. In line with the school’s scheme of management the Board comprises foundation and parent governors, along with representatives of the teaching staff and the Department of Education.

The role of the Board of Governors is to manage the school with a view to providing the best possible education and educational opportunities for all of the pupils. This involves:

  • setting the strategic direction for the school;

  • taking corporate decisions in relation to the statutory functions of the Board of Governors; and

  • promoting good governance.

The Board of Governors of a GMI school is the employing authority, and, as such, is responsible for the employment of all staff (both teaching and non-teaching) in the school.

Scheme of Management

Every school must have a Scheme of Management approved by the Department of Education. This scheme provides for the membership of the Board of Governors and sets out procedures and guidelines for managing the school and the functions to be exercised by the Board of Governors and the principal.  The Board of Governors is required to operate in accordance with the Scheme of Management, which reflects good management practices and procedures. 

​

School Development Plan

The School Development Plan is a strategic plan for improvement. It should bring together, in a clear and simple way, the school priorities, the main measures it will take to raise standards, the resources dedicated to these, and the key outcomes and targets it intends to achieve.
