  1. Minutes of the Previous Meeting and Matters Arising

The minutes were approved as an accurate record. Most matters arising were on the agenda except for the speed at which GCSE results were reported this year. If 2014 is a one-off event, this problem will not recur, but if it does, schools and SASH needs to be much faster in collating an accurate picture.
