Parent Governor Vacancy
As I am sure you are aware, all schools have a Governing Body who support the Headteacher and the Senior Leadership Team in their endeavours to make this school an outstanding establishment where all children thrive.
We now have a vacancy on our Governing Body for a Parent Governor. All parents are eligible to apply for this voluntary role and we would ask you to contact the school office if you would like your name to be put forward.
Meetings are termly and run from 3:30 to 5:30pm. An interest in the school and finding out more about the way that the school is managed is the first consideration and if you have any specific skills with budgets or experience with staffing issues you would be particularly welcome.
If you would like further information please speak to Miss Roberts in the office who will either be able to help you or will put you in touch with the Clerk to the Governors to answer any specific questions. Alternatively just come and have a chat with me about the role at the school gates.
We look forward to hearing from you.
NSPCC Speak Out. Stay Safe
The NSPCC’s Speak Out. Stay Safe. programme visited our school this week to make sure our pupils have the knowledge and understanding they need to stay safe from abuse.
This is a nationwide programme for every primary-school-aged child in the UK and Channel Islands. With the help of their friendly mascot Buddy, they presented an assembly and workshop to the children in our school.

Eco Club
The GreenTeam have done incredible hard work in achieving the Bronze Eco School Award this year. As a result of their work the whole school is taking more care in sorting their recycling and are making sure they are not wasting energy on a daily basis.
To celebrate, the Green Team members will each be presented with a copy of the Bronze Award certificate during Monday's Celebration Assembly and are being treated to an extra special treat in their final meeting of this year together on Wednesday. Next year the Green Team will be continuing to meet together to work towards achieving the Silver Eco School Award.
