A message from the Chair of Governors and Head teacher
One of the three key tasks for a governing body includes setting the school’s vision. We reviewed the school’s vision and aims in 206/17 and the process we followed included:
Discussing the attributes and values we hoped children would have when they left Gilded Hollins, at a governing body meeting
Asking teachers to pick attributes and values they felt it was important for children to have
Asking parents to pick attributes and values they felt it was important for children to have
Drawing up a draft of the vision and aims using the attributes and values receiving most votes from staff and parents combined, and discussing and amending this at another governing body meeting
The Chair and Head discussing the amended version
The Chair meeting with school council and talking them through the last part of the vision.
