Hello and welcome to all (old and new) for the 2024-2025 academic year!

This will be our first year as co-chairs of governors and we are truly honoured to be trusted in this role to help lead the direction of the school along with our fellow governors.  As a starting point we think it's worthwhile sharing what the vision of the school is:

'Peterbrook school is an inclusive community of lifelong learners where everyone believes in us, and we believe in ourselves.'

We achieve this by promoting values of Be Ready, Be Respectful and Be Safe across the school - these values are considered in everything we do and will lead everyone associated with the school into being the best versions of ourselves.

Along with the values above, we also have some key principles which include celebrating and respecting differences, being at the heart of our local community and celebrating success.  This can only be achieved by everyone associated with the school following the same core values in order to best prepare Peterbrook's pupils by respecting others and its community, as well as achieving the best possible academic standards and instilling a lifelong love of learning.

As we've mentioned celebrating success, it would be appropriate to take this opportunity to acknowledge the progress we have made in promoting play with  Outdoor Play And Learning (OPAL).  The school community have embraced OPAL and the children benefit daily from the play opportunities they are provided with.  

This has only been possible thanks to the staff (especially the Play Team), parents and children, thank you!

Thank you for all your hard work and thanks again for your continued support and we hope that your invaluable support continues over the current and future years!

Have a great year all.

Jim Wheeliker & John Byrnes
