Online learning research project
Dear Parent and Carers,
We are working with Charmaine Ricki-Lawrence from the University of Sheffield to support a research project on Children's views of their relationships with teachers and/or tutors they meet in online learning platforms (e.g., zoom). The research will also look at how the relational factors identified by children might impact teaching and learning.
There is additional information available in the documents posted below. Please share the flyer with your child so they can understand what the project is about.
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact Mr Takolia.
Thank you.
Election for Parent Governor
Dear parents and carers,
We have received three nominations for the parent governor vacancies. A ballot is therefore necessary and votes will therefore be required.
Further information can be found in the information letter below.
Mrs Cutler
Parent Governor vacancy
Dear parents and carers,
The Governing Body has a vacancy for a Parent Governor. Governors play a key role in the school, working as a team to provide support and challenge, and influencing strategies. We are hoping that parents will nominate themselves or others and help us by contributing ideas and influencing decision-making.
Outlines of procedures for nominations are set out in the letter below, but please contact the school directly to talk informally about being a School Governor.
The Governing Body is made up of parents, teachers and other members of the community. The Governing Body meets to support the work of the school, and together with the Headteacher is responsible for making sure that the school provides a good standard of education for pupils. Appendix B outlines the eligibility criteria for Becoming a Governor.
If you would like to become a Governor, or to put forward the name of another parent who is willing to stand, please complete the nomination paper below, or call in at the school office for a paper copy.
The deadline for the vacancy is Friday 19 January 2024 at 3.30pm.
