We believe that at Tinwald School the aims of our Charter are being achieved due to the close relationship and teamwork that exists between the staff, the Board and the school community. The Board's role is to set direction and provide the governance that enables the staff to manage the school to meet the aims of the Charter, the Strategic Plan and the annual Achievement Targets. In carrying out this role the Board sees several areas as being important to the successful outcome.
Our staff is our key resource. A good working relationship is maintained with them. We recognise them for the professional people that they are. Resourcing is provided for them to further their own knowledge, and to encourage new and innovative classroom programmes. We look to our staff to provide good role models for our children.
Environment is considered an important influence on learning opportunity and on relationships. Maintenance and improvement of the school environment is supported, a pride and interest in the school environment among the children and caregivers is encouraged.
Sound management systems and practices are operated within the school for the day to day running. This is providing a number of benefits. Staff are able to play a greater role in the management of the school and thus feel more a part of it, and the school has more control of the outcome of initiatives that are taken.
Community involvement is an area in which the school community can justifiably take pride; both through the efforts of the Board of Trustees, Public Relations Team (PTA) and individual parents. The school enjoys strong community support.
Board of Trustees Responsibilities
The elected board of Trustees is responsible for the governance of the school. Such matters as budget approval, appointment of staff, maintenance of property, employment of support staff, setting development targets are among the range of responsibilities of the Board of Trustees.
All meetings of the Board of Trustees are public meetings and parents are welcome to attend. Notice of meetings is advertised in the school newsletter.
