Governor News<br />

Hi, my name is Peter Shreyhane and I am Chair of Governors at Bilsthorpe Flying<br />

High Academy.<br />

What do Governors do ? It is perhaps easier to say what we don’t do ! Governors<br />

are not inspectors and do not manage the day to day operation of the<br />

school. That is the role of the Headteacher. Rather we ensure the school’s<br />

Wednesday 14th February—Y1 trip to White Post Farm.<br />

Friday <strong>16</strong>th February—Chinese New Year (special menu )<br />

Friday <strong>16</strong>th February— Last day of term.<br />

To do this we:<br />

- vision is being turned into reality.<br />

- ethos is being embedded<br />

- progress is being made against the Strategic Plan<br />

Monday 26th February—Inset Day<br />

Tuesday 27th February—School re-opens<br />

Thursday 1st March—World book day<br />

Tuesday 6th March— Parents evening<br />

ensure the Headteacher is accountable for the educational<br />

performance of<br />

the school, its pupils and staff<br />

oversee the financial performance of the school.<br />

Make sure the building is welcoming and safe.<br />

Finally, a little about myself . I grew up in a mining community in North<br />

Staffordshire, before living in the North East for 50 years, moving back to the<br />

East Midlands last year. Speaking as a parent and grandparent and someone<br />

who didn’t learn to read until I was 9 , I appreciate just how important education<br />

is. Children only get one chance and it is up to us all to do everything we<br />

can to make sure they are given every opportunity to fulfil their potential.<br />

If anyone would like to know more about being a governor, I can be contacted<br />

through the school office. Peter.
