Rushed into school quickly today over lunch to watch the Eco fashion show - and what a fabulous performance the classes I saw produced. I'm sure there are some budding Gucci or Channel designers in there (or indeed their parents!).
The star prize(s) however have to go to Mr Williams and Mr LLewellyn who were looking particualrly dashing in a pink cowboy outfit and flower costume respectively - check out the blog pictures! However, I think even the children were getting fed up of Mr Williams' slightly cheesy jokes (sorry Sir!)
The half an hour I spent in school the children were having a great time - cheering and clapping their fellow pupils and thoroughly enjoying themselves - I wish my Primary School had been like this!
Got told off for not getting dressed up in an Eco costume...well at least I've got a year to plan next years...!

Health & Safety Meeting/ Walkaround 15th October 2009
In school 8.15am this morning as meeting Mr Roberts and Health & Safety Committee to do a walk around of the school. This provides us with an opportunity to identify any areas of concern to the Head, and also provides him with a "freash pair of eyes" to examine the school environment.
I only managed to "walk around" the infants as it took much longer than we had originally planned and I had to get to work - but my two colleagues continued with clip boards at the fore!
We discussed with Mr Roberts a number of minor queries and identified a priority list for addressing these as soon as practicably possible.
It was also lovely to see the children happily working away.

Full Governors - 7th October 2009
Well, I must be a very poor Chair as the meeting this evening managed to last until nearly 8pm! There was loads to go through, with all the governors receiveing an update off Mr Roberts on the latest Key Stage results for the Children - excellent results (well done to all the pupils, parents and teachers) but we can always do better.
With the Inspection looming ever closer we wanted to make sure that we had covered all the areas we needed to - with dates in the dairies for Health & Safety, Curriculum, Finance and full governor meetings going forward.
I was delighted to be nomintaed and accepted as Chair for the second year running - I feel it is a great privelege to serve the school as governor and I hope I can continue to contribute to the committee for many years to come (if they'll still have me!). Thank you to my fellow governors for their vote of confidence.

Parent's Information Evening - 1st October 2009
In school tonight (6pm-7.30pm) for the parent's information evening that Mr Roberts had arranged to inform parents of recent developments, update them on Key Stage 1 and 2 results and also to allow individuals to ask any questions of the Head, Senior Management Team and Governors.
Mr Roberts started the evening with an update on Key Stage 1 & 2 performance, illustrating the progress the school has made over the last few years in relation to English, Maths and Science. He stressed that the school's results are very high, compared to the LEA and also our comparative group across the UK. An explaination of extracurricular activities was also provided. Mr Roberts also outlined his plans to further continue to develop the school over the coming year. Finally, the evening ended with a Question and Answer session, in which a number of parents posed questions to the Head and Senior Msanagement Team.
I think the session went very well - it allowed parents the opportunity to be updated with information about how the school has performed and also what is has planned for the coming year. Mr Roberts closed the meeting by informing parents that he plans to hold additional events in the future.
