Finance & Personnel Committee Meeting

On Wednesday, Governors reviewed the staffing structure and the whole school staffing strategy moving forward. Governors carried out a ‘deep dive’ of the induction process by speaking to a new member of staff and were reassured that the process is robust.

Governors were delighted with the Year 3 children’s attitude towards school and the excitement shown about the move to Key Stage 2.

Governors agreed the recent appraisal recommendations and spent time analysing the school finances and future strategic financial planning.

Gurdwara Uniform

Dear Parents,

 

This is just a reminder that pupils need to come into school in full school uniform this morning. They should also bring a head covering to show respect within the Gurdwara.

 

Apologies for any confusion,

 

The Year 3 Team

Cool Cats visit to Nursery and School was just purrfect ! 😻

This week Cool Cat had a purrfect time welcoming all children who were on time for Nursery and School each morning! We hope you all managed to get a high five at least once this week!

Thank you to all who arrive on time – our lessons start each morning promptly at 8:30 for nursery and 8:40 for school. The registers are then taken, its such a positive start to the day when the children all start together.  

It was lovely chasing his tail capturing the moments of happy smiling children, rushing to give a quick cat cuddle or high five.
one boy shouted ” Yes mommy i did it ! I love Cool Cat ” ❤️👏🏻

Lego Printing

As part of our celebration of Denmark, the children have used Lego to print scenes of a Copenhagen street. We also used Lego in our Mary’s session today when we made three digit numbers and added or subtracted 10 and 100.

Safeguarding, Health & Safety Governors Committee

Governors from the Health and Safety committee met last week. They were delighted to hear that the children from Year 3, 4 and 5 talked so confidently about E Safety and what do if they felt uncomfortable about something online.

They were reassured that the Health and Safety policy and procedure across Early Years is robust.

Governors again put a spotlight over the induction procedures and were happy that a newly appointed member of the Newdale team spoke confidently about the process and the impact it has had on her first few weeks at our school.

Governors look forward to talking to more children and staff next half term.

Curriculum Governors Committee Update

The Curriculum Governors met yesterday and were super impressed with the amount of work carried out by staff and pupils in such a short space of time since the start of the term.

A selection of KS 2 SEND mathematicians came to share their books and views on how they have started the year. They all love maths and their books looked amazing!

Governors were very impressed with the amount of work completed by the new music lead since she took up this role in September. They were excited to see the impact on the children’s enjoyment linked to music.

Governors approved the equality targets for 2023-2024 and encourage parents/carers to look at this on the website.

Governors had a detailed update from the SENDco and were impressed with the action plan and future plans around parental communication linked to SEND.
