Governor of the Week

Our ‘Governor of the Week’ is Peter Wilson.

Peter Wilson was appointed by the PCC (Parish Council) as a Governor of St Mary’s in the early 1990s. He used to live around the corner and worshipped at St Mary’s Church, but has since moved away to be closer to his children’s schools. Peter’s main responsibilities are as Treasurer to the Governors and as monitor of the ICT curriculum – he meets periodically with the ICT Coordinator to provide moral support and ensure that the school and teachers are properly equipped to teach this very important subject. He works as a management consultant in the developing world


More 'Governor stuff!'

On another School Governor matter, you may remember that Len Clark, our Chair of Governors, was awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours List. I’m very pleased to tell you that another of our Governors, Lady Harriot  Tennant, also just received an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours! Well done, Harriot!


Life Education Mobile Classroom

The people who brought the mobile classroom to us last week wrote a letter to say thank you for making them feel welcome. To quote their letter:

“The classes have been exceptional; such a pleasure to teach, such fun to work with. Their emotional intelligence shines! Thank you all for your help and support.”
