Whole School Records are beneficial for this school because you have an accountability of all the records in the school. Incase for reference and evidence. Whole School records also allow you to have access to previous knowledge of the school and to have accurate information when needed. It allows you to have a first hand knowledge and history of the school and staff. The records you keep can provide specific details and documentation when talking about the resource your school need to succeed in.
My views on whole school records use at this Nursery school is that Whole school records are important to ensure the effective running and monitoring of the school. They also serve as a reference and evidence while taking decisions in future.
Yes, there is a penalty placed by the Ministry of Education if you misplaced any record. The penalty is that you get a warning, in the form of a letter.
It is Important to have the proper maintenance of Whole school records because Whole School records help for undertaking educational research. It helps to save every important event in school providing many important information. School Records help school administrators to make decisions. Records provide raw data that enables coherent, balanced and objective decisions on issues such as promotion, student and staff discipline and teaching and learning performances.
The duties are shared among Headteacher and Staff when preparing records. For example, the Teachers are the ones responsible for preparing and keeping the minutes of meeting up to date. Whereas the Headteacher is responsible for the up keeping of the Log Book of the school.
Depending on the record that has to be done, that is how they have to be completed; Daily (E.g. Teachers' attendance register), monthly (E.g. Evacuation Drill Record), Termly (E.g. Staff Development Records) annually ( E.g. Annual Statistical Booklet, List of Duties) or when the need arises.
