Parent Council – 5th October 2011
Headteacher’s report
Staffing
No changes
Budget
Items purchased:
· New dining room furniture
· Whiteboards and computers for 2 classrooms
School funds have paid for the works to the grounds and the grant payments have now replaced around 50% of the funds used. We will be fundraising next term – Christmas show and raffle.
Building work
Refurbishments works still to be completed:-
· Fencing and gates
· Ground works
· Guttering
We have an ongoing problem with the roof leaking above the staff room, and a problem with drainage behind the link corridor.
Open afternoon
The event was well attended and we received positive feedback from visitors.
Standards and Quality Report
The report has been completed, read by the authority and will go out soon.
Communication with parents
E-mail addresses are being collected so letter etc can be sent electronically and up to date mobile numbers, ahead of any adverse weather.
Website update
The Communications team have taken on responsibility; new items have been added and the group will keep the site up to date with news etc
Green Flag
We are delighted to have been awarded our green flag, the pole is ordered and the flag has been sent to us.
When doing a whole school litter pick prior to the visit, we were all shocked by the number of cigarette ends in the grounds.
Health and Safety
· Following the completion of the refurbishment we have renewed our fire exit procedures and practiced them.
· We had a near miss in the car park recently and have asked that no parents or children come into school via the car park. We ask the Parent Council to support us in this. The JRSO group will be asked to campaign about this on behalf of the school.
Next term:
· Parents evenings – all parents will be invited to both November and March evenings. Possible launch of active learning leaflet?
· Max in the Middle for P6 pupils
· Christmas show will be a whole school production with P6 taking the lead. Work on it will start after the October break.
