Dear Parents and Carers As we approach the end of a busy and successful term at Baldwins Gate Primary School, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the fantastic progress we’ve made as a school community and to thank you all for your continued support. At our recent Governing Body meeting, we celebrated many achievements and planned further steps to support our children’s education and wellbeing. Highlights included:
Looking ahead, we are excited about new initiatives such as plans to improve the school’s online presence with updated photography and information. Finally, on behalf of the Governing Body, I want to thank you for your continued support of the school. Your involvement and encouragement play a vital role in our collective success. As we enter the festive season, I wish you all a joyful and peaceful Christmas break. May it be filled with happiness and time spent with loved ones. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year, ready for another term of growth and achievement. Warm regards.

Dear Pupils, Parents, and Staff I hope this letter finds you all well. I am writing to share some updates following our recent Governors' meeting, held on Wednesday, 25th September. Firstly, we are delighted to report that pupil numbers at Baldwins Gate Primary School continue to increase. This is wonderful news for our school community, as it allows us to maintain year group classes and provide even more resources and opportunities for our pupils. We are confident that the school leaders are managing the slight increase in pupil numbers well and that the ethos and culture of our wonderful village school will be maintained. At the meeting, the Governors were also pleased with the School Improvement Plan for 2024/2025 presented by Mrs Lowndes. We feel assured that the plan sets a clear and ambitious path forward, and we have high expectations for the academic year ahead. We are committed to supporting the school’s ongoing progress and are excited to see the results of the hard work and dedication of both staff and pupils. Pupil outcomes across the school were strong last year and we are committed to building upon this strong foundation. I would also like to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dawn Frost, who has served as a Governor for some time. Dawn has resigned from her role, and we are deeply grateful for her contributions and dedication to the school throughout her time on the board. Her efforts have been invaluable, and we wish her all the best for the future. As a result of Dawn's departure and an existing vacancy, we now have space for two co-opted Governors to join our board. We are eager to find individuals who are passionate about helping us drive the school forward. If any parents or members of the community are interested in discussing the role of a Governor, I encourage you to get in touch with me via the school reception. Further information about the role of Governors can also be found on the school's website. Meet our Governors - Baldwins Gate CE(VC) Primary School Thank you for your continued support of Baldwins Gate Primary School. Together, we can make this year a success for everyone involved. Best wishes. Phil Harrison Chair of Governors Baldwins Gate Primary School |
