We have recently updated our Parent Code of Conduct Policy. Please find a link to it here Parent Code of Conduct Policy. Many thanks.

We have a vacancy for a parent governor which we need to fill as soon as possible.  Parent governors are elected by and from the parents of children currently attending our school.  They serve a four-year term of office and bring a very important and valued perspective to the work of the governing board.

You might like to look at the information for prospective governors on the Gloucestershire County Council website www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/schoolsnet/governors   Further information on the role can also be obtained through the school office.

The governing board has a vital role to play in making sure every child receives the best possible education. This is achieved by ensuring that governors have the necessary skills and commitment to contribute to the effective governance and success of the school.  The particular skills that governing boards need will vary and will include personal qualities and capabilities, such as the capacity and willingness to learn and work as part of a team.  It is expected that governors will make use of the various training opportunities available to them and play a full part in the work of the governing board.

If you are interested in becoming a governor, contact the school office with your nomination (self nomination is acceptable), which will need to be with the school by 12.00 noon on Thursday 19 October 2023.

If there are more nominations than vacancies, a ballot will be held and you will be sent a voting paper.

Nominations forms are at the foot of this Newsletter or ask Mrs Bowen for one from the Office before or after school.

The second race of the season took place yesterday at the Vineyards. Again, we had a fantastic turn out of children representing the school. They were even more determined this week, showing incredible resilience to 'keep going when the going gets tough'. Well done to Elena who placed second again in the girls' race. Leo H and Leo N-S ran even harder this week, placing in 4th and 11th place respectively in the boys' race, which is amazing for year 4. Congratulations to all of our runners: Elena, Arianne, Tabitha, Scarlett, Vienna, Scarlett, Hallie, Florence, Leo H, Leo N-S, Freddie, Tom, Henry R, Josh W, Jack W, Sam O, Sam H, Theo, Oliver, Joseph, Alex, Bertie, Jude, Zane and Lewis.

Please remember that all school dinner account balances should be in credit on parentpay at all times. Many thanks.
