Safeguarding, Health & Safety Governors Involvement

The Health and Safety Governors met on 4th June. They began by reviewing the action plan following the completion of the local authority safeguarding audit and were pleased to note that most actions have now been completed.

They spent time examining the Modified Timetable protocol, ensuring they fully understood how best practice involves engaging outside professionals and parents at every stage of the process. Governors also spoke with Mr McFarland (SENDCo) and several pupils with complex needs to explore their knowledge and understanding of safeguarding, particularly for more vulnerable learners. They were reassured with the children’s responses.

In addition, the Governors met with a Teaching Assistant to gain her perspective on the recent serious fire incident and to understand how policy and procedures operated during a real emergency. They were encouraged to hear that she felt the event was handled safely and effectively, especially given the seriousness of the situation.

Finally, the Governors spent time on the playground gathering parent voice. We look forward to analysing the responses from parents at the next meeting.

Year 4, 5 & 6 DISCO Information – Thursday 21st May

Years 4, 5, 6, we hope you are as excited as we are for the upcoming D.I.S.C.O on Thursday! :)  Get those song requests handed in and practise those dance moves!

 

Can all children attending please enter through the main reception doors at 5.30pm.  You will see a member of staff for each year group ready to tick your name off the guest list and let you in, so please look out for your year group line to queue in.

Please note the collection points for each year group are slightly different and will be as follows:

Year 6 at the end of the disco will be taken out of the external door by the year 6 classrooms and will be released to parents/carers collecting from the Y6 gates. 

Year 5 at the end of the disco will be released from the hall exit doors to parents/carers.

Year 4 at the end of the disco to be will be taken back out of the main reception doors to parents/carers. 

The Disco will end at 7pm.

Please can we ask parents and carers dropping off to take their child’s coats with them once they have dropped off at the disco and then bring them back on collection. This will help with storage and ease during the disco. Thank you.

We can’t wait to see you there.
