Finance & Personnel Governors Committee

Governors scrutinised the ‘work life balance audit’ and were pleased with the very positive level of responses. Governors took great pleasure in knowing that having such a positive, dedicated staffing team, ensures the children’s needs are being met. Governors understood the pressures around the school and nursery budgets and contributed to the discussions for future spending. Governors listened to a presentation by the Assistant SENDco and was reassured that detailed planning, communication, and next steps continue to be carefully considered.

Safeguarding, Heath & Safety Governors Committee

The Safeguarding, Health & Safety governors met last Thursday and really enjoyed listening to the views of girls from reception, Year 2, 4 and 6. Governors asked many questions about lunchtime and break time activities. Children responded confidently about what there is to do both indoors and outdoors. They knew what to do should a ‘dangerous situation’ arise and what to do should they come across damaged resources. Year 6 are going to report back to Miss Cook about ideas for interactive games that they could use in their outdoor area. Governors reviewed the food standards documentation and look forward to pupil voice and menu analysis as part of the next committee meeting.

Governors feedback linked to the Curriculum meeting

Governors were delighted to talk to enthusiastic Geographers from Reception to Year 6. Children were very knowledgeable about topics such as volcanoes, earthquakes, Mount Everest, capital cities and details around maps.

Governors could see clearly that the children in our nursery provision have a high-quality offer with exciting resources and stimulating environments.

Governors want to celebrate the swimming offer with you – please see below the report created by Miss Jones our PE lead.

Swimming Update January 2024

Governors had an in depth look at the After School Club provision and were impressed with the overall offer including the carefully thought-out snack menu, planned trips and exciting activities for the children. Governors agreed to release more funding to further resource our After School Club.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Year 2

From everyone in the Year 2 team, we’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We’d like to thank you for your consistent support, kind words and efforts with learning at home.

We really hope you enjoyed the nativity as much as we did! We were extremely proud of each and every one of them. What confident performers they were!

A few reminders for the New year for Spring term.

PE days – Monday-outdoors  and  Wednesday– indoors – please ensure children come to school on these days wearing the correct PE uniform.

Outdoor learning – Thursday– please ensure children bring suitable footwear and a change of bottoms to school (clearly labelled) as they will change in school.

The children will be expected to be reading at least 3 or more times a week, practising their spellings daily and their times table homework.

Times tables will be tested each Wednesday and their new homework practise sheet will be given out on a Friday with their spellings. The children will move onto the next set of times tables when they are confident with the inverse and speed.

Have a well earned rest and we can’t wait to see the children on 8th January ready for another exciting half term of learning.

The Year 2 team.
