A letter from the Chair of Governors
Dear Parents/Carers,
In January 2012, the School was judged as “Good” by Ofsted under the new framework. However, we see this as a starting point in our journey to be a truly outstanding school for the local community which is seen as a natural first choice for parents. The school community (staff, students and the governors) are all working together to reach that goal, but we would very much like to improve our engagement with both parents and the local community. Since parents/carers play such an important role in a child’s education, I would like to focus on this theme and have one simple request:
Do you have any ideas or have you seen examples of outstanding practices at other schools that you would like to see at our school? If so, please make your ideas known via email to gb@hestoncs.org These ideas will be collated and shared with you and will also help form strategic decisions for the direction of the school, so please do contribute and make your voice heard.
Whilst reading this, you may also be asking yourself, what is a governor and their role in the School. With the launch of the new school website we will be sharing more information with you. In addition, you will also have the opportunity to meet governors at the upcoming Parents’ Evenings.
I look forward to receiving your feedback and wish you all a successful and rewarding year.
Kuldip Sidhu
Chair of Governors
