Parents’ Evening – Thursday 26th February 2009

If the change of date is problematic please contact your child’s teacher to arrange an alternative appointment at a mutually convenient time.
Report from Governors’ meeting
“Following our last Governors’ meeting, we can report that steps have been taken for Governors to forge even greater links with staff. The chairpersons of the various Governor Committees will meet more regularly with the school leadership team and all Governors have been invited to partner with individual class teachers or Key Stage or Subject Leaders. This additional resource and support is intended to help progress the school improvement plan and contribute to the direction that classes and subjects are taking.
We are pleased to report that the school’s latest academic attainment figures indicate that we are on track to meet our achievement targets. St. Michael’s compares very favourably with schools of a similar profile and is exceeding the majority of average performance scores across the County.
Our next meeting is 12th March.
St. Michael’s Governors wish you and your family an enjoyable Half Term break.”
Visit in school from ‘The Animal Man’.
On Tuesday 24th February the children will experience seeing an assortment of animals and a talk from a member of the Natural History Lecture Service. This is always a popular event on our school calendar.
