Being involved with your local school is really rewarding!
Tonight was a chance to get up to speed with curriculum development, the school’s self assessment processes and new policies. Governors at this sub-group were joined by other governors, teachers and parents for the annual meeting of the governing body with parents. I am always proud of parents who are able to juggle their own hectic lives in order to get back into school to find out what’s up and coming and discuss their concerns, too. Afterwards I was shown photos of the very first family bike-ride, last Sunday, (which I had hoped to attend but was in Plymouth doing end of uni year, ‘please pick up my stuff from my digs, but I’ll be staying on and not coming home, …. yet’). The bike ride attracted over fifty families – and is so important. If parents aren’t confident to take their children out on their bikes after school-based cycle safety classes – why do the classes? Clearly this was a fabulous event and needs nurturing and supporting.
