Dear Parent/Carers

The NHS needs to have a good understanding of how children are growing across the country so the best possible health services can be provided for them. As a result, all children in England in Year 6 are offered a height and weight check each year.

If you are happy for your child to have their height and weight screened you do not need to do anything further.

However, should you wish to decline consent, it is your responsibility to  inform the School Nursing team. They can be contacted on 01302 566776, or alternatively you can email them at [email protected]. This must be done by FRIDAY 30TH OCTOBER 2020.

A letter is being sent home to Year 6 pupils with further details.

Thank you

We have an exciting opportunity to join our governing body….. Interested then this might be the job for you

Our Governing Body is made up of Individuals from all walks of life and many come to us through a variety of routes and with a range of different backgrounds, skills and experiences, but they are all volunteers who work together for the benefit of the School and are the link between the School and the community it serves.

We want you

We are currently looking for new Parent Governors and would be delighted to hear from anyone who has:

• an interest in the performance of the school
• a desire to contribute to and represent the community
• an open and enquiring mind
• the ability to look at issues objectively
• the confidence to ask questions and join in debate
• a willingness to listen and make informed judgements
• the ability to work well with others
• time to spare
• a child or children currently attending the School

If you match the above description, you may be the very person to become a Governor at Carcroft Primary School. Everyone has something to offer and we want people from as many backgrounds and with as wide a range of interests as possible.

What can we offer?

• A chance to develop skills in strategic management
• The opportunity to work with our team of governors and staff in improving our School
• A sense of achievement in making a difference to our School
• The pleasure of helping our children reach their potential

What is the Governing Body’s Role?

The Governing Body of our school plays a key role in:

• setting targets for raising standards of educational achievement
• monitoring progress towards meeting these targets
• supporting and challenging the performance of the headteacher
• deciding policy and future development plans

As well as attending meetings governors are also asked to look at specific areas of the school’s work in more detail. To help support governors, everyone has access to further training to help build on existing skills or to develop new ones.

If you are interested, please complete the below nomination form and return by Friday 16th October to Mrs Lythe (SBM)- [email protected]
