The Governors have a great day!

Governors come into school for a day each term and Friday was our day. We had such a great time - and we were allowed to come in jeans! Mr Taylor told us at assembly that the school was donating eight large bin liners of clothes to the Dreams Come True charity as a result of non uniform day. (We should have auctioned Mr Taylor's jazzy shirt!)

We visited different classes - Some of Year 6 were recovering from their visit to Woodmill, while the rest of the year group was at Knapp House; Year 5 were designing an information leaflet about the Lordswood area, saying why it's such a good place to live; Year 3 were buzzing about bees, and blowing their trumpets and tenor horns; Year 4 were reading and answering questions. We were even lucky enough to see some experts in quick fire times tables. What a great way to increase confidence with numbers. Some of the Governors will need to practise!

Mrs Worley told us about a training course she is doing to help her be an even better admin manager, and we chatted with pupils about swimming, Joseph, and Catch Up literacy. And of course we had an update from Mr Taylor about how the school uses Google Apps.

Fortunately we had a welcome cup of tea at break time and an excellent school lunch to keep up going in our action packed day. Thank you Mrs Whitmarsh for organising the timetable for us and to all who talked to us during the day. We will be back in September.

You can find out more about the Governors' work, who we are, and our support and challenge for the school on our own website page.
