Minutes
1. Welcome
Anna welcomed everyone and apologised for the meeting starting later than usual. It was due to the prolonged PTA meeting which took place in the same venue.
2. Minutes.
Minutes of the last two meetings were discussed. The first was agreed but some amendments need to be made to the last one.
Moira suggested that details need not be included in minutes - only decisions. This, she said, is necessary in case sensitive issues are discussed.
3. Safer route to School
Jill Kelly talked to the board about school travel plans.
Graham Bodenham discussed plans for improvements at various places in the locality. He suggested that it might be possible to bring in the 20m/hr speed limit only at certain times.
Jill Kelly informed the board of what nearby schools are planning. she also suggested exploring possibility of joining in these efforts.
Jill will send questionnaires to the school. She will do the analysis and further decisions will be made on this.
4. Head teacher's Report
Staffing. Mrs Cox is expected back on 13 October.
Mrs Millar left on 8 October.
2 learning assistants have been employed (?).
Playground
The slabbing is now finished. Other possibilities of development, such as situation of the car pack, were discussed. Ali Black suggested possibility of getting free packing spaces outside the school grounds. This will be explored.
5. Anna gave a brief report on her meeting with the consultative committee with parents.
6. School Board minutes training was flagged as an option to interested members.
7. Security
Security is still an issue posing concern. Children still open the main doors to visitors to the school. Liz will continue to advise them against this.
