Governors’ Review of the Year 2020-21
In another challenging year, because of the continued Covid-19 pandemic, the governors have nevertheless continued to play an active role as a ‘critical friend’ to Trinity CE Primary School. The work has been crucial in helping the school to continue to develop and improve. Due to continued restrictions, Governors attended ‘virtual’ meetings via Teams throughout the year but still remained very much connected and engaged in providing support, challenge and strategic direction to our school. When restrictions allowed, governors were routinely involved in book trawls, observing teaching, pupil voice, ‘drop in’ visits and open mornings. The outcomes of these activities have enabled governors to fully appreciate the range of activities within school, look at the impact of school improvement initiatives and inform school self-evaluation. Governors have taken part in a range of activities to continue to strengthen the school’s curriculum and to embed the school’s vision and values throughout the school. This has supported the school in strengthening the ‘implementation’ of particular areas of the curriculum; to meet the needs of our children at Trinity. When educational visits allow, Governors will reconvene accompanying children on educational trips and visits. Governors have been involved in a range of activities to support safeguarding. The safeguarding governor has scrutinised the single central record to ensure that the necessary checks and procedures are followed in the recruitment of staff and other adults who work with children. Furthermore, the buildings, security, health and safety committee has also examined issues relating to safeguarding and has scrutinised procedures and policies. All governors were regularly involved in the review of risk assessments to support the ever-changing role of the school in the continued management of the Covid-19 pandemic. This has provided reassurance to staff, parents and pupils that the school is as ‘Covid-19 secure’ as possible in these challenging times. The school curriculum committee’s role has continued to be effective through monitoring the implementation of the School Development Plan, including. the continued development of the school curriculum. This ensured that subjects were structured and sequenced logically to support children’s ability to know more and remember more. The work of the committee has also involved that the Catch-up premium has been implemented successfully to support our most disadvantaged pupils. The school finance committee has closely worked with the school to ensure that the school achieves the best value for money. The finance committee ensured that money allocated for specific purposes, specifically to support disadvantaged children through the Pupil Premium and Catch-up funding, as well as funding for PE and Sport, was also spent appropriately. Governors continued to monitor the financial impact of Covid-19 and ensure the necessary savings were made to maintain financial stability, whilst providing necessary funds to provide the best possible education for our pupils. This year the governors will be again supporting the school to address school development priorities and to mitigate the negative impact of Covid-19. The focus this year will be on further strengthening the school curriculum, implementing work to support the recovery of learning and continuing to mitigate the negative impact of Covid-19. | ||||||||||||
