Governance

It’s been quite a week! The concert at St John’s on Tuesday was a chance for our very talented Music Scholars to perform and the Art and Design Exhibition on Wednesday was a celebration of the impressive range of work that pupils have produced during the year. We have been able to leave most of the items on display and they will form part of backdrop to tonight’s Open Evening, where we have record numbers booked in to visit us.

I have spent much of today with our governors and other leaders in the Coventry School Foundation reviewing the year and considering the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. We have a committed and talented group of governors, many of whom have only recently joined the board, and it is good working with them and using their expertise. Thank you to those who expressed an interested in the Parents’ Association’s nominated position on our board and the PA will be able to share more about this soon. I can’t say anything specific about the meeting because I am writing this before it has taken place, but instead, I wanted to briefly mention governance in general.

Some of you may be aware that outside school, I am proud to serve as Chair of Governors at Ernesford Grange Community Academy, and there are other Bablake staff who serve on other school boards. Ernesford is a very good school that has made significant progress over the last few years; it has been very rewarding to play a small part in their journey. As governors, our role is to work with the school’s leadership team to help drive school improvement by providing support and challenge.

There are also some senior staff from local schools sit on the CSF board, and these links are mutually beneficial. There is much that we can learn from others and we are all working with a similar aim: to provide an outstanding education for young people in Coventry and its surrounds.

An extraordinary quarter of a million people volunteer their time and skills to oversee schools in the UK and many schools locally are looking for looking for people who are able to join their governance team. Governors usually attend around six meetings per year and although becoming a governor requires drive and commitment, there are many professional and personal rewards, including the chance to support young people’s futures. Whatever your professional background, your skills could help transform a school.

If anyone is willing and able to become a school governor locally, you can register your interest with Governors for Schools at https://governorsforschools.org.uk/. Alternatively, if you want to find out more, I am able to offer advice; please contact me at school.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the numerous school events over the next two weeks.
