Parents Council / Forum Agenda: Updates from previous meeting minutes. Presentation of progress and actions within the school since the last meeting. Plans for 2014-15 Question and Answer.
Updates from last meeting Students have been supported to take Japanese this summer if they are at a suitable point to do this, unfortunately, Yuki has now moved back to Japan on a semi-permanent basis so it will be harder to provide this opportunity in future. We have agreed extension to the hall so will be able to accommodate the school for Break and lunch time in seated areas – details below. The new pen system has been successfully introduced and students have done well in having the correct equipment for lessons.
Progress at CGSB since last Parents Forum / Council We now have no long term supply staff in the school this term. We will have an ICT supply teacher in September due to a late resignation – already organised – former member of staff. This is the only planned supply staff for September. Year 11 – 50% of CA was graded A*/A when sent off in May. Year 12 – 47% of AS mocks were A-C and A-E from 56% in Jan to 79% in April. Year 13 – 46% of A2 mocks were A*-B and 98% A*-E.
Progress at CGSB since last Parents Forum / Council Show My Homework is being used in Year 7-10. This has led to a significant improvement in amount of homework being set and completed by students. New system for students not completing homework is in place and is ensuring students are completing homework on time and developing the independent learning habits that will be essential in their examination years. Year 10 after-school support has begun.
Progress at CGSB since last Parents Forum / Council Internal QA shows that we have maintained quality of T&L at around 2/3rds good or better. We are aiming to lift this to ¾ by the end of term. Internal QA suggests that the quality of assessment has improved with almost 80% of books checked being judged as good or better. Year 10 have taken Science examinations and been set accordingly. Year 10 have taken English examinations and been set accordingly – note achieved 30% A*/A.
Progress at CGSB since last Parents Forum / Council ICT – since Easter we have achieved much more stability with 113 Year 11 students completing the ECDL without any technical difficulties.
Progress at CGSB since last Parents Forum / Council Aspire & Achieve Together We have proposed a new logo and strap line:
Parents council / forum – plans for 2014-15 A number of building projects have been submitted for government approval – details in the meeting Develop the sense of community by introducing House weekends with Camping and trips for House groups.

Parents council / forum – plans for 2014-15 Continue to develop the students and teachers educational toolkit with the launch of the Thinking Maps – we aim to be an accredited Thinking School by 2016.
