A Word from the Governors

 

Dear Parent/Carer

On behalf of the Governors at Wibsey Primary I would like to welcome you and your child to the school.  We hope that your child will have a happy, safe and successful time during the coming years.  Wibsey Primary is renowned for its caring ethos.  Our recent good Ofsted report commented on the overall good behaviour of the children and made particular reference to the ways in which children are cared for and developed.

The Governors are part of the Wibsey team dedicated to providing your child with the best possible start.  However, educating your child is a partnership between the school, yourself and the community which will help your child grow and develop into a responsible adult.

The Governors meet once every half term to discuss matters regarding the school.  We support the Headteacher and staff by providing the resources and equipment to deliver the curriculum as a whole and by looking at, and challenging improvement in all aspects of the schools work.  We are also committed to improving the facilities here at Wibsey in order to enhance your child’s excellence and enjoyment and make learning a fun experience.

Yours sincerely

Lisa Knowles
