Governors Day
Every term, we hold our special Governor Day. These involve our Governors coming to spend the day in school with us. They spend time looking around our school, observing lessons and talking to all our children, parents and staff about ways to improve our school further.
Our most recent Governors Day was on 15th January 2024.
We appreciate our Governors giving up their precious time to come and see us in action!
What Have Our Governors Been Doing?
Members of our Governing Body spent a day in school on Monday, 16th January 2023.
Governors attended collective worship led. They witnessed an interactive bible story (Jesus calms the stormy seas). This experience was enjoyed by all.
During the day, governors visited classes to look at teaching and learning.
They:
- looked at our learners’ books
- spoke to pupils about their learning
- Met with subject leaders and the school council
Subject leaders discussed how they were reviewing their area of the curriculum in light of OFSTED’s expectations.
Governors looked at the foundation subjects:
- History
- Geography
- Art and DT
They focused on how the school designs the curriculum and makes it relevant to our learners’ needs.
Governors know that the school focuses on acquiring, understanding, and applying subject-specific vocabulary. They noted that staff use ‘big questions’ to engage learners and that pupils had positive attitudes towards their learning.
Members of the Governing Body were in school for the day on 15th January 2024. I enjoyed collective worship, an art lesson, looking at books, meeting lots of you, and hearing parents talk about the school. If you see us in school again, please come and say hello!
