Governing Body
A note from the chair of the Governing Body
Welcome to the Governing Body section of the Dover Road website.
I am pleased to say that the Governing body has gained in strength over the last couple of years as new members have joined. This has enabled us to fulfill our commitment to help the school in their task of educating the children in our local area.
We were encouraged by the recent SATs results that clearly show the progress that had been made by the children at Dover Road. This data reinforces my belief that the leadership shown by the senior staff is moving the school in the right direction, helping our children achieve their best.
I am hoping this year, the Governing body can get more involved in meeting with staff to ask them how their work is doing and offer support in whatever way we can in enabling them to nurture and develop the skills of the children in their care.
If you have any questions about the Governing Body, then please do send them to me via the school office, marked 'Newsletter Questions for the Chair of Governors' and I will put together some answers in future school newsletters (or possibly publish them on this website).Peter Hosford
