Annual Section

The Charter must also include an annual plan that will need to be updated each year.

In this section the Board will set out the short-term priorities and targets (see FAQs number 26 onwards) for improving student achievement, which it has set for the coming year, to make progress towards its strategic objectives. This must detail how the Board intends to achieve those outcomes.

In this section the Board will also describe or refer to:

• its capital improvement and maintenance projects for the forthcoming year including all significant expenditure items;
• its plans for personnel development, performance management, and meeting EEO obligations;
• its financial plans which show how resources will be allocated to achieve improved student outcomes; and
• the school's annual budgeted financial statements;
• its health and safety strategies for staff and students;
• how the Board intends to implement and integrate programmes for which the school may have been granted special support or additional resources.
