Parent Governor Election

1 November 2018
Parent Governor Election

We are recruiting for two Parent Governors to sit on John Madejski Academy’s Local Governing Body and are inviting applications from anyone wishing to make a contribution to our rewarding educational community.

What we hope you can offer:

  • Time: approximately 6 hours a month
  • A listening ear and enquiring mind
  • The ability to work as part of a team which holds school leaders to account

What we hope you will get out of being a governor:

  • The knowledge that you are helping our students
  • The satisfaction of giving something back to the community
  • New skills which may be useful elsewhere

Governors are appointed to provide:

  • A strategic overview of the work of the Academy
  • They act as a critical friend to the Academy
  • Strong links between our Academy and the community we serve
  • A focus on the long term development of the Academy
  • Accountability to the community for the use of resources and the standards of teaching and learning within our Academy
  • Maintain strong and effective relationships with TWHF

Governors will be involved in activities such as:

  • Monitoring the progress of the school improvement plan
  • Reviewing the effectiveness of school policies
  • Reporting school progress to The White Horse Federation Multi-Academy Trust
  • Ensuring the school meets Statutory requirement

Can you commit to:

  • Attend meetings of the Governing Board (6 per year)
  • Work as a member of the Governing Board (not as an individual) in the best interests of the Academy
  • Show an interest in Academy activities
  • Become well informed about education in general and about our Academy in particular
  • Become familiar with the rules of school governance in an academy trust
  • Attend training courses where appropriate.

THE SCHOOL IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE


Dear parents and carers,

Following the Government announcements, we've taken the decision to close the school until further notice. We appreciate this is a difficult time for everyone as we all make personal sacrifices for the greater good of the nation. Where possible, we've tried to contact parents and carers who registered as Key Workers, those with vulnerable children, or who collect Free School Meals. If we have not managed to contact you, here is some further information:

Children of Key Workers

If you need support with childcare because both parents of the child(ren) are critical key workers, then we will do our best to support you while you're on the frontline. This school is now closed, however, we have designated schools within the White Horse Federation that are still operating as hubs. We will organise childcare for your child(ren) at one of these locations. Please contact one of the White Horse Federation Coordinators using the chat facility on the website. You can launch this by clicking the ? in the bottom left of the screen.

Children who are Vulnerable

The White Horse Federation has deemed vulnerable children to be those without adequate care or protection at home or with significant health needs. Given the current Government guidance at this point in time, we deem the safest place to be at the parent's or carer's home. If you believe this is not the case for your child(ren), then please contact one of the White Horse Federation Coordinators using the chat facility on the website. You can launch this by clicking the ? in the bottom left of the screen.

Children who collect Free School Meals

We are making every effort to ensure children who collect Free School Meals have access to food. To that effect we will be supplying parents and carers of children who collect Free School Meals with vouchers to cover the cost of 20 days’ worth of lunches from Tuesday 24th March through to Monday 4th May. The vouchers are ordered and we are currently awaiting receipt of them before the end of the week. We have contact details of those who are registered as receiving Free School Meals and will contact you directly. If you're concerned that we don't have your details, then please contact one of the White Horse Federation Coordinators using the chat facility on the website. You can launch this by clicking the ? in the bottom left of the screen.

We will endeavour to continue the learning for all our children despite these setbacks. You should know that the teaching staff at your school have worked tirelessly both day and night to manage this situation to the best of our ability. Our nation is triumphant against adversity, and we have every confidence we will return to our normal lives as soon as possible. Please take care of yourself and loved ones while we all work through this together.

Yours faithfully,

Dr Nicholas Capstick, OBE

CEO The White Horse Federation
