Parent & Governor Meeting: Minutes

Dear parents,

There was another good turn out for the Parent & Governor meeting today. Some very good questions were asked about support for SEN pupils, the progress of the building works and staffing for September. Please find the minutes from the meeting below.

We were particularly interested to hear your views about the curriculum we teach here at Broadford and any suggestions you have for how it can be further improved.

  • What experiences would you like for your children?
  • What do you think helps them to learn?
  • Which approaches would you like to see more of?
  • Is there any aspect of the curriculum you think should be improved?
The children were asked what they wanted from the curriculum and they had some very insightful ideas:

We want to learn about real things, things which matter to us.
We want to break down barriers between subjects into real live topics
We want to learn from experts who inspire us – artists, scientists, writers
We want to learn about the world, world events and where we live
We want to be involved in what we learn – what interests us and inspires us
We want more opportunities to work in teams, to learn from one another and to work with       different age groups
We want more time to learn, more time to research and more time to finish
We want to learn by doing and making
We want to learn with our parents and other adults
We want to communicate (with) and learn from children in other countries
We want to learn more by being outside the classroom and outside the school
We want to be listened to

If you have any additional questions or thoughts that you would like to contribute, please see us on the gate in the morning, fix an appointment to see us or email the office.

Thank you again on behalf of Gill Gordon for attending today and taking the time to help us further improve the school.
