FINANCIAL SUMMARY 2010-2011 and 2011-12 (from point 12) and school fund expenditure

REVIEW OF SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2010-2011

1.POST INSPECTION ACTION PLAN KEY ISSUES

• Continue to work on issues raised by ESTYN inspection. 2.Buildings

• Painting of the staff toilets.-Not done due to funding being used to paint the front of the school.

• Liaise with LEA regarding condition of railings and exterior painting of the building- school approached the Probation service for help here. Materials were purchased and some of the painting work was completed. Standard of the work was unsatisfactory on the whole.

• Repair of light fittings- some light fittings have been replaced. Others have deteriorated since.

• Continue to look at DDA access. Painting of Steps etc in line with DDA policy- Steps have been painted. Further review of DDA will be undertaken in 2011-2012 year.

• Investigate the possibility of moving the HT office and Staff room. Use of current HT office as a parents room/ main office. Look into costs associated with such a move- no funding available to do this in current climate. Excess funding will need to be kept back in order to maintain staffing levels.

• Carry out repair and maintenance as identified by buildings report- some remedial work has taken place. The school did have some vandalism last year which took a some of the dedicated budget. The front of the school has been painted which has added to the overall look of the school.

3.Managerial & Staff

• Investors in People accreditation- contact IIP assessors. Ensure that relevant staff paper work is in place.- Not done.

• HT- to review school policies- some curricular policies have been renewed. Others to follow in accordance with Self evaluation timetable.

• Self evaluaton- Review cycle of subjects in accordance with school timetable. Re-vamp self evaluation cycle to a three year rather than a two year cycle. Lesson Observations by teachers to take place this year- timetable has been adjusted. Lesson observations to take place in 2011-12.

• Develop the use of INET as a means of developing staff. LEA funding this for 1 year- Scheme proved to be ineffective.

• School Effectiveness Framework-school has moved on addressing some of the issues regarding S.E.F. More to follow in 2011-12. Timetabling will again focus on basic skills of numeracy and literacy.

• Continue to develop the school garden and the school yard. Develop outdoor play areas for the children in the garden area. Develop further games for the children to use on the yard- The school garden is progressing nicely. Raised beds are in place. Front of the school is also being improved with garden pots ready to be put in the space below the bridge.

• Continue to work on ECO Schools and Healthy Schools- The school has passed the Silver award for Healthy schools. Work will now be undertaken on passing the Eco Flag award.

STAFFING & PERSONNEL • Mrs Sioned Ryder appointed on Secondment as Deputy until November 2012.

• Miss Ffion Williams was on maternity from November 2011 onwards. Mrs Karen Roberts will cover in her stead.

• Mrs Pat Griffiths and Ms Alison Crofts have been appointed as cleansers. Mrs Juliet MacManus has started on her Midday Supervisor post. Mrs Gweno Bond is covering the other midday post.

• Mrs Paulette Satursley will be covering maternity for Miss Katie Edwards.

• Mrs Rees will be retiring during the summer of 2012. Miss Kaylee Franks will fill this position from Sept 2012 on a temporary basis.

• Mrs. Lynne Hardwidge’s decision for a reduction in hours was adopted by the governing body.Miss Ffion Jones is now a full member of staff.

BUILDINGS • Our existing CCTV unit was destroyed during PAT testing. I have made an insurance claim in order to cover the

majority of the costs involved, but the school will have to pay a £150 excess.

• Buildings-The school is set to be re-wired during the Summer. LEA officers envisage that the work will take place during the holidays. They are also seeking to replace the boilers within the school but this is dependent on costings. The front of the school will also be painted by the LEA this summer. At last it seems that some expenditure will be taking place on our school!

• Staff room- current staff room to be moved from where it is now to the carpet room. This would mean that the current staffroom would be given over to being an ALN room. In addition, Paul McClellan Construction from Bangor have kindly created a new office area in the main corridor. They have done this completely free of charge and I would like to thank them immensely for their generosity. Mrs Jane Davies (a PTA member and Parent) works for this company and they have also agreed to make some modifications to the second staff toilet downstairs and to supply sinks for the main staffroom and for Mrs Ryders’ room. This work has saved the school a great deal of money.

• Painting- I have asked Billy Aughton for prices in order to paint areas of the school ready for our next inspection. Whilst his prices are favourable, there is a need to do the work on a staggered basis. I envisage the need to paint the computer room as a matter of priority.

• Pupil toilets- Bakerlite cisterns are used in the pupil toilets and there is a need to check whether these have Asbestos in them. Whether there is or not doesn’t necessarily mean that the toilets will be given a refit.

• I have liaised with the LEA to see whether the hall can be fitted with proper fire escape door. The LEA have deemed that a new fire door is not a necessity.

• The After School Club - TY BRYN have now decided to use the canteen and one of the classrooms for this purpose with the school replacing some of the locks to the main school building.

The scheme will come to an end in November, but there are tentative plans to place a store unit on the school field in order for the activities to continue. -Boy’s football team took part in the County Championships having won the cluster competition in April. -Pupils from the Urdd took part in the Mini Olympics in Ysgol Craig y Don. -Mrs Rees’ Netball team won the cluster and the Conwy Championships for a record time.
