On Wednesday 14th September we held our first face to face school governor meeting since March 2020. Although using zoom has been a great way of hosting the meetings virtually getting us all back together in a room was fantastic! We'll be using a mixture of face to face and online meetings throughout the year to ensure a work life balance for all attendees.

One of our agenda items was to come up with our Development Objectives for the year which was a very collaborative session where we all used post-it notes to write down our ideas which we've now formalised into our plan.

We also agreed our governor link roles for the year. These are important roles linked to key areas of the school like Safeguarding, Health & Safety and Finance. We are also planning on spending lots of time this year looking at staff workloads and staff and pupil wellbeing.

We welcomed a new governor Oli Burt who joined our team and has a keen eye on data which is a welcomed skill.
