  • Vision, Mission, Strategic Aims & Values
    Vision, Mission, Strategic Aims & Values Summary of Consultation Responses September 2018 Northern Ireland Local Government Officers’ Superannuation Committee Summary of Consultation Responses 1 Background 1.1 NILGOSC is the administering body for the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) in Northern Ireland. NILGOSC was set up by the Government in April 1950 to operate a pension scheme for local councils and other similar bodies in Northern Ireland. The pension scheme is known as the Local Government Pension Scheme (Northern Ireland) and is a defined benefit scheme. The pension scheme is funded by contributions paid by both employees and the scheme employers. 1.2 NILGOSC’s role is to administer the LGPS Regulations, both in terms of pension scheme administration, including the calculation and payment of benefits, and the management of the investment fund. The Regulations are made by the Department of the Environment and, while NILGOSC will respond actively to any consultation process, it does not have any power to change the regulations or determine their content. In this respect, NILGOSC’s remit is relatively limited with its function being to deliver a pension service to scheme members and employing authorities. Within this narrowly defined function, the focus continues to be on providing a high quality service to all stakeholders, in line with their continually evolving expectations. 1.3 Like most organisations, NILGOSC has established a strategic planning process which allows it to identify and achieve its long term strategic objectives. A key part of this process is the triennial strategic review, during which the organisation’s vision, mission, values and strategic aims are subjected to a thorough review and stakeholder consultation to ensure that they remain relevant and reflective of the current operating environment.

    Strathearn School School Development Plan 2017-2020 Strathearn School School Development Plan 2017-2020 1 | P a g e Strathearn School School Development Plan 2017-2020 11 Jun 2017 SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Preface This School Development Plan (SDP) details the priorities of Strathearn School for the period 2017-2020. These priorities have been identified after an analysis of a range of information and consultation with parents, pupils, staff and the Board of Governors of the school, as well as educational and community partners. The Board of Governors has delegated to the Principal the requirement to monitor, evaluate and review the School Development Plan on an annual basis through verbal and written reports from those members of the Senior Staff and other parties who are responsible for each Action Plan based on the stated success criteria. Members will monitor progress through meetings with those responsible for the Action Plans on a termly basis and report to the Governors and Principal annually. Introduction Strathearn School is one of the top girls’ grammar schools in Northern Ireland. It has a national reputation for academic success and is locally renowned for music, sport and drama. The last ETI Inspection in September 2010 details more fully the ‘very good’ quality of education offered by the school. The overall size of the school with 780 pupils and small class size allows each individual pupil to develop in a caring and supportive environment. The school is situated in extensive grounds and enjoys complete seclusion in very attractive surroundings with well-equipped buildings and excellent sporting facilities. Pupils are drawn from a wide ranging catchment area including East Belfast and North Down.
