Governance & Policies
Board of Management
The Board of Management consists of school parents elected during the General Assembly in April whose nomination is confirmed by the French Ambassador.
In addition, one member is appointed by the French Ambassador. Each Board member has a vote.
In addition, the Board of Management includes ex-officio members and invited members, who have an advisory role.
The Board has the right to co-opt additional members as required.
The Board runs the school and makes decisions in relation to its financial management and locally employed staff members. It takes the headmaster’s or headmistress’ opinion into account as well as that of the School Council in relation to any decision relating to education or the day-to-day running of the school.
All parents or guardians of LFI pupils are eligible to join the Board of Management (as is also the case for the school councils). All parent members act on a purely voluntary basis. The Board of Management usually meets once a month.
The Board can be contacted at bom@lfi.ie for any questions or comments you may have. Please note that all correspondence goes directly to the Board and will be kept confidential.
Primary School Council
The Primary School Council is made up of the Primary School Director and parent and teacher representatives, and looks after all questions relating to the infant and junior classes in relation to education, daily life, equipment, hygiene and safety. All decisions voted by the Primary School Council must be ratified by the School Council if related to the organisation of the school or by the Board of Management if of a budgetary nature.
There are as many parent representatives on the Primary School Council as there are classes.
The representatives are elected for the school year. They facilitate relations between parents and staff. They may approach the school direction to raise a problem or to mediate at the request of one or more parents.
Before the Primary School Council, the parent delegates compile the parents’ question then forward questions to do with the class to the teacher, and questions to do with the school in general to the school direction.
Secondary School Council
The Secondary School Council is made up of parent representatives, students, teachers and the administration. It looks after all questions related to the running of the secondary school which may not necessarily need to be brought to the School Council. It fulfils the same function for the secondary school as the Primary School Council does for the primary school and is answerable to the School Council and the Board of Management in the same way.
In the beginning of the school year, the headmaster/mistress appoints the teacher members from the Education Council. S(h)e
consults them on educational organisation and
on the implementation of the school project.
