How the Governors of St Teresa's have contributed to moving the school forward:
The appointment of the right Head Teacher and Deputy Head Teacher for our school. This has lead to:
- concentration on middle leaders;
- introduction of Key Stage Leaders;
- staff re-organisation which has built on strengths;
- a measured increase in the quality of good teaching throughout the school.
Focussing on improving teaching and learning.
This has led to:
- the implementation of an effective marking policy throughout the school;
- creation of a more effective and welcoming learning environment;
- a shared vision of good practice;
- a shared commitment to school improvement.
Focussing on pupil progress.
This has led to:
- more secure data;
- benchmarking;
- internal and external moderation;
- regular review with subject leaders and class teachers;
- establishment of Performance and Attainment Governors Committee.
Focus on the function of Governors.
This has involved:
-
reconstitution of Governing Body leading to additional governors appointed to further strengthen the governance of the school;
-
regular reviews of progress with staff to support and challenge;
-
shared staff and governors INSET;
-
review of policies, leading to an even safer environment for the school community;
-
targeted governor review day.
