Shelter opening,  with governors and John Glenn

If you've been following this blog you could be forgiven for thinking it's been a quiet term. It hasn't! 
Governors have been in school discussing, among other things, accessibility and Pupil Premium Grant spending. And the big topic in the Full Governing Body meeting was  Academy status. We are all in agreement that it could be damaging to ignore this issue and we are investigating the best course of action,  not just for our school,  but for the three schools, and pre-school,  that together make up the Somerset Road campus.
Working together more in recent years has produced exciting results and created opportunities. Whatever we do here will involve consultation with the many people involved or affected and we will need to look carefully at the best route forward. More to follow on this...
Pupil premium money spending is, likewise,  a hot topic where Governors are challenging the school to not only better celebrate and communicate existing efforts,  but also to  more-effectively narrow the gap in achievement for children who might need a bit of extra support.  Again,  we think more will follow soon...
Happy Easter.
