Junior - Weekly email - Friday 5th September

Dear Parents / Carers
 
It was lovely to see everyone in school today and we hope that they enjoyed their first day of the new year. Welcome to all of our new joiners.
 
Volunteer Readers - we will be welcoming back our volunteer readers to read with children in the afternoons. Please contact the office or your class teacher if you would like to read with children this term
 
Governor Vacancy - The Governing Board is looking to fill a vacancy with a new governor drawn from current parents and carers.  No qualifications are required; you just need common sense, time, enthusiasm and a commitment to working as part of a team to make a difference to the education of all the children at our school.  The experience can provide an opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and is both interesting and rewarding.  Being a school governor would take on average about 2-3 hours a week of your time, including some meetings in the evenings and some during the school day (a number of employers grant time off for school governor duties).  The term of office is four years and full training is provided. This is not an elected position, anyone who applies will be interviewed by a small group of current governors, then the full governing board will take the decision on whom to appoint. To find out more, please email chairofgovernors@csgvillageschool.org.
