Governing Body’s Annual Statement

The Issues faced and addressed by the Governing Body over the last year were:

  • Understanding changes to and preparation for Ofsted inspection and responding to its recommendations
  • Continued to ensure that the Head Teacher and SLT were supported in their roles
  • Attended key assemblies and events across the school year
  • Took part in monitoring of teaching & learning through ‘Book Looks’ and moderation activities
  • Changes to School Self Evaluation and Development Planning
  • Investigation and decision making regarding term time holiday requests

The impact of the Governing Body on the school was:

  • Governors knowledge of data and assessment systems enables Governors to provide further support and challenge to school provision
  • The pupil survey confirmed that children feel safe, enjoy school and the experiences they have in lessons and feel that they are taught well.
  • As a result of Governors clarifying stakeholders views, Governors are very clear in being able to support school to determine next steps of development.
