Staff News<br />

As the the Autumn term draws to an end, we say a<br />

fond farewell to Mr. J. Wallace (Science)<br />

who leaves us for pastures new.<br />

We wish Mr. Wallace the very best for the future and<br />

thank him for his service to the school, not only in<br />

the science classes but also on the stage, as he<br />

regularly got involved in our school productions!<br />

Governor News<br />

This term we welcome a new Vice Chair of Governors<br />

to the school. Mrs. Karen Shadrach will support<br />

the Chair of Governors Mr. Jeff Bowen.<br />

Many thanks to school governors Mr. Mark<br />

Griffiths and Mrs. Mary Bradley, whose terms finish<br />

this year. We are currently advertising for two new<br />

Parent Governors and elections will be<br />

taking place soon.<br />

Student Voice often invite our School Governors to<br />

their meetings and this year has been no exception.<br />

Mr. Nigel Richards took part in the Year 11 Mock<br />

Interviews, two members attended our December<br />

meeting to present the new Behaviour Policy and<br />

Mr. Mike Cahill attended Student Voice to get a feel<br />

of what really happens at the meetings!<br />

“I was invited to attend the Student Voice meeting and<br />

was very impressed to see the structured approach of<br />

the meeting by the staff and the pupils, giving<br />

everybody the opportunity to express their concerns<br />

and record feedback.<br />

This forum gives them the opportunity to feel involved<br />

with the decision making progress during their<br />

learning years”.<br />

Mr. Mike Cahill<br />
