How to Use This Template
Set Academic Year and Report Date, then have Headteacher Name draft Academic Performance Summary with outcomes in context (progress, attendance, destinations) and Financial Summary in your audited figures.

Address the report to Chair of Governors, circulate papers a week before the meeting, and keep the signed version with the governing body's minutes for inspection.
When to Use This Template
End-of-term reporting
Assemble attendance figures, highlights and action points into one consistent document for leadership or governors at the close of a term.
Ad-hoc status updates
Need to report on a transport review or parent survey on short notice? Fill in the same sections and send a document people already know how to read.
Comparing results term over term
Keep the section headings identical between terms so leadership can compare attendance, outcomes and initiatives side by side without rebuilding the structure each time.
