Governor Involvement
Governors are becoming more involved not only with the school as a whole but now with individual classes . Each governor has been assigned to a class and will make regular visits to meet the class teacher and children, they will then report back to the committees sharing both successes and any questions that may have been raised. Each governor will also concentrate on a particular area that is of interest to Ofsted and again share that deeper understanding; this should enable us to be a stronger more aware Governing Body better able to take the school forward.
Governors meet regularly, we have a Resources committee for mainly buildings and finance and a Curriculum committee which looks at matters concerning teaching and learning. This is the first of what will be a regular Governors’ newsletter but in the meanwhile if you have any questions about governors or you would like more details on what we do please feel free to ask me.

Ofsted and Siams report.
Following our recent Ofsted and Siams inspection, please click here to see our latest Governor Announcement.
Lancashire Evening Post, December 10th 2015
Lancashire’s primary school 2015 league tables.
‘Most of the county’s primary schools are rated as good, and one way this shows in the league tables is through the value added measure. The benchmark is 100, and if a school is able to add to a child’s education, beyond his or her academic expectations, they are given a mark of more than 100.
Chorley All Saints Primary, for example, has a value added mark of 102.’
The governors would like to congratulate not only the staff but also the children past and present along with their parents and carers who have made this recent achievement possible. The school goes from strength to strength; good and outstanding teaching and strong leadership along with parental involvement and our best ever attendance figures has led to a consistent rise in standards.
Work on the new entrance is going well and should be ready for the start of the new term, it should make the start and the end of the day much safer and easier (and hopefully lead to fewer lost PE kits and jumpers.)
On behalf of the Governors, Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.
Gwen Barnes , Parent liaison governor
