WELCOME BACK
A huge Welcome Back to all our wonderful St Andrew’s Boys and Girls! We have missed you! I am really pleased to see you all looking so smart too! It’s still okay to wear polo shirts and summer dresses until the half-term holiday, but please remember to get your shirts and ties ready for the end of October. St Andrew’s children always stand out in the community for your excellent behaviour and smart uniform, let’s keep up the high standard and wear your St Andrew’s school uniform with pride! Thank you.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT INHALERS IN SCHOOL
Please make sure that your child’s school-based inhaler is in-date, and let us know if it is no longer needed. If your child has been diagnosed with asthma recently, please inform your child’s class teacher and obtain the relevant consent forms. Many Thanks

PARENT GOVERNORS
We are looking to appoint 2 new Parent Governors and the election process will start in the next few weeks. The Local Authority guide can be found on the back of this newsletter for your information to help explain what a parent governor is, can do, and what they can’t.
We meet as a full governing body once each term with additional committee meetings. Each new governor must undergo an enhanced DBS check within 21 days of appointment and must comply with the code of conduct which includes a confidentiality clause and social media policy.
Training is available and all governors are expected to access it on a regular basis.
More information will be sent out through school in the coming weeks and I look forward to welcoming the successful applicants to the team.
(J Donnellan – Chair of Governors)
