As well as our day yesterday, the rest of this week is a
busy one for me and a number of other members of staff. I am hoping to secure a couple of staffing
vacancies that we have for September.
Every year a small number of staff members leave the MGS community for
pastures new, so final arrangements to ensure we are fully staffed for
September always take place during the last few weeks of May.
Tonight is the last Full Governing Body Meeting of the
academic year. At the meeting a number
of key matters about the School will be discussed and I am sure a number of
discussions the SLT had at yesterday’s Away Day will be mentioned.
Since January I have been spending some time in each
department popping in to lessons, talking with staff and students, and just
establishing a general feel of what is going on. I have already seen some excellent practice
across the School and this week I am spending time in ICT & Computing, Film
& Media, Geography and Classics.
The week after half term is the week of internal
examinations for Years 7, 9, 10 and 12.
Plenty of revision is going on around the School to ensure everyone is
prepared and staff are also making their final arrangements to ensure the
examination week goes as smoothly as possible.
I am sure plenty of revision will also be going on over the half
term.
