As the newly appointed Chair of the school Governors, I would like to welcome you to the new school year and to thank all the children, staff, carers, parents and governors for making September such a positive experience for all. In this turbulent world it is good to know that our caring school is a place of safety and stability where children receive the challenge and encouragement needed to develop a lifelong love of learning.
I am excited by the development that will be made during this year in the areas of phonics, reading and writing which are the bedrocks of learning and will build upon the success of the introduction of Power maths throughout the school.
One of the great strengths of our school is the attention taken to the care and well being of all and ensuring such activities like the recent Sports Week are timetabled in to our school year.
I consider it a privilege to take on this role and would like to thank the previous Chair, Angela Birchall, for all the work she did. I look forward to her continuing support as we move forward and sharing the adventures with you that this school year will bring.
With best wishes
David Ireland
Chair of Governors
As Governors, our aim for the next five years is to maintain a sustainable four class, four teacher school, creating a friendly inclusive environment for all our children. Through our rich, coherent and cohesive curriculum, we aim for ALL children to reach their potential; develop resilience to meet life's challenges; be happy and inquisitive and live fulfilling lives.
The governing body of Mareham Le Fen will support the aims and goals of the school as expressed in the school’s vision statement.
We will achieve this through an active involvement in the life of the school, strategic planning, questioning, challenge and monitoring. Our school seeks to reflect the Christian understanding that all people are precious to God.
