Governors using Microsoft Teams

Melland High School held our second virtual governing body meeting recently and our Principal Sue Warner reports that due to improved technology it ran really smoothly.

During the meeting we were able to update our governors on the considerable amount of work which had taken place since we last met. This included dynamic risk assessments & safeguarding, home learning in all its various forms, welfare calls and much more. As ever, Peter Tite our Chair of Governors and all the governing body members were extremely supportive and very keen to pass on their thanks to staff for their continued hard work and commitment to students and their families.
