Guvernare

Jolly Pett, ​Chair of Governors

Sally Simpson, Headteacher

Avem o echipă de voluntari foarte dedicați și calificați, care servesc ca guvernanți ai școlii și își concentrează eforturile asupra a ceea ce contează cu adevărat - îmbunătățirea educației și a rezultatelor elevilor pentru fiecare copil.

(...)

Guvernanții provoacă și susțin directorul executiv, șeful școlii și alți lideri superiori ca factori cheie de decizie strategică și stabilitori de viziune pentru școală. Toate problemele operaționale de zi cu zi sunt responsabilitatea șefului școlii și a personalului.

Guvernatorii joacă un rol vital în:

(...)

  • creșterea performanței școlii și a elevilor;

  • asigurarea utilizării adecvate a resurselor pentru a oferi fiecărui copil cea mai bună educație posibilă;

  • asigurarea îndeplinirii obligațiilor legale;

  • responsabilizarea conducătorilor școlari pentru îmbunătățirea performanței școlare.

  • Progresul elevilor defavorizați

  • Sanatate si siguranta

  • Curriculum

(...)

  • asigura claritatea viziunii, etosului și direcției strategice;

What's your favourite way to spend a free day? 

A trip to the gym, coffee with friends and watching Dr Who. 

What do you bring to Parkland?

I bring a passion for education, especially reading and equality and diversity.

Parent Governor/Chair

 

What's your favourite way to spend a free day?

My ideal day would be going on a trip with my children, being outdoors (as long as it's not too wet) or seeing something new.

What do you bring to Parkland?

I have worked on a lot of community projects over the years within some very different contexts. I bring experience from the youth work and children's care sector which struggle with a lot of the same issues that our schools struggle with.

Why did you become a governor?

I became a Governor to ensure that my kids got the best quality of education and so that I could make an impact upon this small close knit community. I want to ensure the best outcomes for all the young people at Parkland.

What are your hopes for Parkland?

Our school is a very diverse place with people who have very different life experiences. My hope is that Parkland gives them all the opportunity to be successful and happy human beings as well as giving them skills and strategies that will serve them into adulthood.

Role:

Co-opted Governor 

 

What is your favourite way to spend a free day?

My favourite way to spend the day is enjoying time with my grandchildren. We love cooking together and our speciality

is making chocolate brownies. 

What do you bring to Parkland?

I have worked in East Sussex as a Primary Headteacher for the last 22 years. I have now retired but I continue to work part time as an Educational Consultant. I have experience of teaching in a small village school to leading in a large urban primary school. I have a special interest in Special Needs and Early Years Education. 

 

Why did you become a governor?

Having worked as a headteacher, I am very aware of the role governors can have in supporting a school. I really enjoyed working with children and I wanted to continue to be involved with a school and use some of my experience to help. I had visited Parkland and it felt like the right place and the right time to volunteer as a governor.

 

What are your hopes for Parkland?

My hope for Parkland is that the school continues to be aspirational for all children and that it builds on the values of positivity, resilience, honesty, and co-operation. I hope that every child will have opportunities to thrive and develop their knowledge and skills so that they become lifelong learners.

Marion Ponting

Name:

Marion Ponting

 

Role:

Health and Safety Governor

What is your favourite way to spend a free day?

A day spent in the garden (in the sun!) is my favourite way to spend a free day. There is nothing nicer than pottering,

listening to the birds and feeling the sun on one's back.

What do you bring to Parkland?

I have been in education for many years and I have a large amount of experience and understanding of primary aged children, which I hope allows me to be a useful critical friend of the school.

Why did you become a governor?

Following retirement I felt that I still had a lot to offer a school and wished to continue to help enable children to achieve the best that they can.

What are your hopes for Parkland?

Having been at the school for a number of years now, I have seen the schools grow and flourish into inspiring and highly motivating environments. I have seen outstanding pastoral care for pupils and families and know that the wrap-around provision that continues to evolve in the schools will continue to grow.  I hope that all children will realise the best outcomes that they can.
