Introduction from the Chair of Governors - Louis Walmsley
|
|
Dear Parents and Carers,
I would like to introduce myself to you as the Chair of our Governing Body, a position which I have been privileged to hold for the last year. I have been a Governor at SS Peter & Paul for over 30 years being Vice Chair of the Governing Body and Chair of the Finance & Premises Committee for most of that time. Since moving to Lichfield our family has had five children passing through the caring hands of the school staff, so I know the school well.
There have been many changes over this time and I have always been impressed by the dedication and hard work of all the staff, the support and commitment of parents and the positive response of the pupils. It is a very happy school, setting the highest standards and I am proud to be associated with it.
The Governors, staff, parents and children work together, as a team in an atmosphere of care, based on Gospel Values, where everyone feels and is, valued. Our faith lies at the heart of all that we do and we are proud of our pupils’ achievements. This is a time of rapid change in education, with a new curriculum and new assessment procedures, we as Governors work with the staff to understand these and to support the school in rising to these challenges.
Over the last year the school, as with everyone, has had to manage the impact of COVID-19 on the pupils and staff. The staff have worked exceptionally hard to ensure the safety of everyone at school while maintaining a high level of education for the pupils. As Governors, we are very involved with the work of the school and try to ensure that we attend all school functions and to be a visible presence in the school supporting its work. Governors are appointed to ensure that objectives are met, that the Catholic ethos remains strong and that planning is both visionary and realistic.
We are here to encourage, advise and support the Headteacher and the staff in achieving our aims. I am available to parents and carers for any matters relating to the school and can be contacted via the school office.
Yours sincerely
Louis Walmsley
