What strange times we are in! Although unable to meet at the school the governors have met regularly and enjoyed, like many others, the glitches of virtual meetings on Zoom. It has however meant that we have been able to keep up to date with the work of Kingsweston and it has been exciting to hear how much has been achieved despite all the difficulties that coping with Covid has produced.

We know that this past year has been tough for so many but especially for those with children. Coping with remote learning, home-schooling and all the uncertainties and anxiety surrounding school provision has been difficult.

And so a huge thank you to our parents, who have been so supportive throughout and given so much encouragement to our staff despite their own difficulties.

An enormous thank you as well goes to the staff, especially the Senior Leadership Team, who have done such an amazing job providing the very best they can for our pupils and parents in the face of such challenging circumstances.

Hopefully better times are not too far away when life can return to something closer to normal.

Chair of Governors
