One important group of people, often overlooked, in our school community are Governors. As unpaid volunteers, they play a crucial role in developing mission and vision, supporting strategic direction and monitoring school development.
The last few weeks have provided many examples of the ways in which, this small group of people make a big difference. For example, this week the Finance and Staffing Committee have been desperately trying to ensure that we can set a budget for 2023-2024, without significantly impacting pupil learning and well-being. Our Vice-Chair has been assisting in finding a solution to a challenging problem. Our Mission and Purpose Committee are currently planning for our CAFOD Family walk. Last many Governors attended our ‘Fr Frank Goodbye Assembly’ and shared much appreciated positive feedback with staff and pupils. Our Chair carried out an extensive Health and Safety Inspection. Finally, another Governor is taking a lead role in developing the financial awareness element of our revised Curriculum for Wales. All of this happens on top of the half-termly full governors meetings and sub-committee meetings. On behalf of pupils, staff and parents, it feels like a good time to acknowledge their generous support, dedication and effort. Mr J Wilkinson

Today, the children said goodbye and thank you to Fr Frank, our parish priest. It was a sad day and a special day, at the same time. Sad, because he will be greatly missed but special because our children are wonderful. There was beautiful singing both a hymn and Fr.Frank’s favourite song, a special poem from the whole school, cards from young and older and finally, the GIFT Team leading our scripture and prayer. The pupil-led collective worship was attended by Governors and members of the Oblate community and was organised by our talented Deputy Headteacher, Miss Copp. Mr J Wilkinson (Who is sorry he missed such a special event!) |
