We had a full agenda for our second AIB meeting and were pleased to welcome a number of members of staff to our meeting. Vice Principal Katie Shires presented her report on safeguarding and answered several questions about the report including how a safeguarding culture can be embedded at Stantonbury School. We then had a detailed presentation from Assistant Principal Rebecca Gowers about working with Heads of Department to drive up the quality of teaching. Vice Principal Sharon Lynch answered our questions including how rapid improvement will be achieved through continued monitoring and support. Assistant Principal Gareth Massey joined us to update the AIB on the actions being taken to improve attendance and punctuality and answered our questions about new processes to address poor attendance. Associate Principal Ben Wilson presented the Principal’s report and answered our questions in relation to behaviour, staffing, premises, health and safety and finance. Finally, we reviewed and approved a new Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) policy and an updated Behaviour Policy. We will meet again next month with a focus on monitoring the impact of the new behaviour policy, leadership, pupil premium and Covid catch-up premium.
Best wishes, Sally LaBrooy, Chair of Stantonbury School AIB
