What have the Governors achieved in 2024/25?

We would like to express our gratitude to Mrs. Turner, her Senior Leadership team, teachers and all staff for their dedicated work during this year. Despite the continuing challenges it faces with ever decreasing budgets, Chapel Break Infant School has continued to provide an outstanding level of educational provision to its children. All staff have and continue to work tirelessly to ensure that the school continues to provide the best possible education and care for its pupils.

During the 2024/25 academic year the Governors have been instrumental in working with the school on the following:

· Providing extensive support to the school as it seeks to mitigate the significant pressures on its budget.

· Continuing to monitor progress against the school’s improvement and development priorities,  to determine their intent, implementation and impact in delivering a rich and varied curriculum for all children.

· Supporting the school as it meets a heightened provision both in numbers and supporting education, for those with Special Educational Needs. Includes, along with many other schools, lobbying both Local and National Government for better school support and funding.

· Ensuring the school premises and equipment are reviewed regularly to make sure they are fit for purpose and facilitate the delivery of the school’s improvement and development priorities.

We look forward to continuing to work with everyone involved with Chapel Break Infant School to provide the very best education for our young people, no matter the circumstances.

 What are the school's values and vision statement?

The vision of the school is ambitious and has been co-created by all staff, governors, children and families. It looks to promote our 4 values:

· We are kind.

· We work as a team.

· We are curious.

· We create a culture of excellence.

As part of the ‘Community’ thread of our vision, the governors, staff, children and community continue to focus on EEDI (Equality, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion). We are proud to announce that together, we have been awarded the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Award. Our aim is to strengthen the knowledge and improve the curriculum to reflect these 4 areas so that all feel respected, listened to and equal members of our school community.

Our vision is:

          Building a Culture of Kindness, Community, Curiosity and Kindness
