Present: Mrs Hoddinott, Mrs Hanson-Magnusson

Time and format of meetings: Again, it was suggested that there were potential issues around attendance. It was suggested that perhaps a virtual meeting might be better.

Balls back?: It was clarified that balls were not permitted whilst the field was out of use and not due to behaviour. This would need to be clarified with the pupils.

Behaviour: Concerns around behaviour were discussed based on the results of the surveys. Staff explained that this was an area we are looking closely at, particularly with regards to getting a better understanding of certain year groups.

Challenge: Again this was raised after the results of the pupil survey. Maths was discussed in particular. Staff explained our approach using the White Rose Maths programme.

Communication: 2 weeks is needed. Suggestions were made around using an app such as Schoop.

Kerb craft: Can this be done in Year 4 and 5? Could this be used to allow pupils to walk home from an earlier age? (Mrs H-M)

Transition: Main issues were communicated as: pupils getting to know what teacher and what children are in the class before the parents; pupils being separated from friends; pupils expressed a desire to spend more time with new teachers and classes prior to summer holidays.
