Our last AIB meeting of the academic year was to reflect on this year and looking forward to 2022/23 and next year’s strategic objectives for the school improvement plan. We reviewed, and discussed, a number of areas including aspects of staffing and responses from recent surveys of staff, parents, carers and guardians, compared to where we were a year ago. We discussed the progress that had been made so far to improve areas such as classroom routines, behaviour management, quality of teaching and safeguarding. We also discussed areas where there is more work to be done, such as further consistency around behaviour management, attendance, communicating the curriculum to parents, carers and guardians, and embedding practices to support learning of all students. Our session will be fed into the school improvement plan for next year, and Mr Parker and Mr Wilson will share this with you soon, including how they will address the areas highlighted in your responses to the recent surveys.
My time as Chair of the Academy Improvement Board comes to an end this week, and I will be handing over to a new Chair, Linda Brooks for September. On behalf of the AIB, I would like to express admiration and gratitude to all of the dedicated staff working so determinedly to continue to improve Stantonbury School for all our students and families.
Best wishes, Sally LaBrooy, Chair of Stantonbury School AIB
