Hello and welcome to all (old and new) for the 2023-2024 academic year!

This will be my first year as chair of governors and I'm truly honoured to be trusted in this role to help lead the direction of the school along with my fellow governors.  As a starting point I think it's worthwhile sharing what the current 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 kindness, responsibility, safety, communication and resilience 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 I've mentioned celebrating success, it would be appropriate to take this opportunity to acknowledge the great Key Stage 2 (SATS) scores in which the school achieved results above the averages for Solihull and nationally across all subject areas - this is something that the school should be really proud about!

This is a combination of hard work from pupils, parents, staff, and volunteers in showing what the school and its pupils are capable of.

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

Have a great year all.

Daryl Waters

Chair of Governors
