Dear Parent/Carer
Feedback to Governors
It's been a couple of years now since the requirement for an
annual governor meeting with parents was abolished. One of the
reasons for this was the poor attendance at this meeting for most
schools.
But this does not mean you can't contact governors, particularly
me, if you have something to ask or say. The governors can only
address any concerns you have about the school if you tell us about
them - and I’m glad some of you do just
that.
We are planning to conduct a survey of parents later this
year. The results from the last survey we did, and from the
recent survey carried out by the Ofsted inspector, were
very encouraging. You seem to think that the school is doing
the right things and that it's doing them well.
We intend using your views to inform our strategic planning
process, in order to make the school even better for your children.
Finally, it is apparent to me as Chair of Governors
that there is still some misunderstanding about the role of the governors
and the role of the head teacher. So I’ve included some very
brief information on that topic here in the hope that it is of use to you.
If any of you have any questions, then please contact me directly
or through the school office.
