St Teresa's School – from September 2020

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.
