Whitemoor Lakes Year 7 Residential in Pictures 16
Governors’ Corner Firstly I would like to express our appreciation to Ms Catherine Roffe who is retiring from the Governors after many years of commitment and service to the school, firstly on the PTA and then as a parent governor and finally as a coopted governor. During that time she has held the key roles of SEND and Safeguarding governor as well as chairing the Teaching and Learning Committee. She has been to the school on many occasions to visit departments and support extracurricular events and has proof reading (and written) many policies, not forgetting the governor panels she has sat on. To show our appreciation Mr Morgan presented her with some flowers and we wish her all the best for the future. We are delighted to welcome aboard two new co-opted Governors. Mrs Faye Heming was previously Head of St David’s in Moreton and is now an educational consultant and OFSTED inspector. Many of you will already know Mr John ap Jones who is head of Bourton Primary. Their combined primary expertise will be of much benefit as we continually review and monitor our KS2 to KS3 transition and curriculum arrangements. At the first meeting Mr Andrew Parker was re-elected to continue as Chair and Dr Helen Warren was re-elected as Vice Chair. The rest of the first meeting was spent on organising the committee structure for the year and allocating link departments. Mr Richard Emsley and Dr Cullan Riley have been re-elected Chairs of Finance and Premises respectively and Mr Lee Campbell will be taking over from Ms Roffe as Chair of T&L. Mrs Faye Heming will take over as SEND governor and Mrs Linda Rowley will be our new Safeguarding governor – both are experts in these respective fields. The programme of works for the year and the delegation of authority were approved and committees tasked with reviewing their terms of reference. In the second meeting on <strong>Oct</strong>ober 8 th Governors approved the final School Development Plan and heard presentations on various aspects of school life as well as reviewing committee minutes and approving policies. The third meeting in December will be devoted principally to the budget. Sporting News Going plastic free! Have you seen our regular Sporting Successes Newsletter?
