The governing body comprises of a mixture of Parent, Staff, Community and Local Education Authority appointed governors.
The Governing Body is there to ensure that the school provides the best possible education, within the framework of the National Curriculum, and to provide a safe and happy environment for all it's pupils. The way we endeavour to achieve this is to involve parents as much as possible and to this end we provide an annual written report for parents. This is backed up by an Annual General Meeting to which all parents and guardians are invited.
The Governing Body comprises of three main committees. Finance, Staffing and Curriculum and Premises. Governors generally sit on one but no more than two of these committees. The Head Teacher and Chair are ex. Officio on all committees.

Our School Day
|
|
We can arrive at school by foot, car or bicycle. We are not allowed scooters. The whistle goes at 8:28 am and we file into school through allocated entrances. We put our bags and coats in the cloakroom and put our lunch boxes on the trolley. If the weather is wet we go straight into school, after 8:20 am.
Lessons begin at 8.45 am and last for 55 minutes. There are two lessons before assembly at 10.40 am (At the end of each half term we have a commendation assembly to give people awards.) Break is at 10.55 am when we can eat our snack. There is then one more lesson after break.
At lunch there are no hot drinks allowed. Year 4 go into lunch first and collect their lunchboxes and fill up one table at a time. The dinnerladies will give you a drink of water or a spoon if you need one. After lunch we play outside on the playground or field (or in the classrooms if it is raining). There are clubs at lunchtimes like choir, orchestra and running.
You are not allowed chewing or bubble gum in school or sweets.
The bell goes for the end of lunchtime at 1 pm and we line up on the playground to go into school. There are two more lessons in the afternoon. We end school at 3.05 pm, but there are after school clubs, instrument lessons and sports matches most days. | | |
