News and events
• Staffing news
We can confirm the following news: over the recent months the following members of staff have left the school:
Miss Baron-Smith (Practitioner) has left to take up a post in Child Protection with the Metropolitan Police
Mrs Chaudhury (Practitioner) has left the school for a similar position in another local school
Mrs Patel(Finance Officer) has left the school to take up a more senior post in another Redbridge school
We thank each colleague for their dedication to the school community in their respective terms of service at the school and wish them all well in their new careers.
We have filled their posts with relief support for the time being, and adverts have been posted to recruit suitable replacements. As soon as appointments have been made we will inform you of the related news.
• School Games Mark
We are delighted to announce that the school has been awarded the Bronze Games Mark by Sainsburys, to recognise the degree of support by the school for PE and Sport activity. Our thanks go to Miss O’Reilly and Mr Cross for leading the application process.
• Policy updates
Please note the Board of Governors has recently updated the following school policies and procedure statements:
➢ Behaviour policy
➢ Complaints procedures
Full versions can be found on our website: http://www.geariesprimaryschool.co.uk/
• Specialist Leaders of Education appointments
SLEs are outstanding middle and senior leaders in positions below the Head Teacher, with at least two years’ leadership experience. They have a particular area of expertise (such as a subject area, early years, behaviour or school business management) and a successful track record of school improvement.
SLEs support leaders in other schools. They have excellent interpersonal skills, are able to work sensitively and collaboratively with others and have a commitment to outreach work. They understand what outstanding leadership practice in their area of specialism looks like and can help other leaders to achieve it in their own context.
The SLE role is about developing other middle and senior leaders so that they have the skills to lead their own teams and improve practice in their own schools. This may be done through one-to-one peer coaching or facilitated group support and could involve a variety of activities, such as data analysis, coaching or joint action planning.
Following a rigorous evaluation of all applications, we are delighted to announce the following appointments: Miss Fan and Mrs O’Driscoll (Mathematics specialism)
We congratulate both colleagues on the recognition of their specialism.
