Our First Meeting of 2021...
On Monday 18th January, the governors met for our latest meeting. Due to the current national restrictions, the meeting was held remotely. We began by discussing the quality of education in school. Mr Batley (Year 5 and 6 team leader) joined us to discuss his report regarding teaching and learning in Years 5 and 6. The report outlined the strengths and priorities within the team as well as some of the challenges of lockdown. It was pleasing to hear that the majority of children and families are engaging positively with the remote learning on offer. Both staff and governors acknowledged the importance of the regular class video calls (both teaching/feedback/celebration sessions and social 'catch up' sessions). Mrs Lee (SENDCo) then joined the meeting and gave an update regarding Special Educational Needs. Her report highlighted the importance of quality first teaching for all children and gave an explanation of the different waves of intervention used to support children.
