Banks St Stephen's CE SIAMS Report
Church Links
We have close links with the beautiful St Stephen's Church situated down the road from the school. We have a programme of joint activities and have many formal and informal links. Rev'd Rebecca Clarke visits the school regularly and participates in whole school worship alongside our Worship Group. Rev'd Rebecca is a hands-on school governor and a close member of our school community. She provides pastoral support to the staff and is a member of the Staff Wellbeing Committee. She is also the Chair of the Curriculum Committee! Our other Foundation Governors are Mr Tom Cropper (who has been Chair for many years and most recently Vice Chair). The recently-dug school pond is named Cropper's Pond in recognition of Mr Cropper's enormous and ongoing contribution to school life. Miss Anne Wallbank is a new Foundation Governor, who also takes a great interest in the school and visits regularly. For more information about the Governors' Christian Vision, click the Vision and Values tab and Governing Body tab.
Hands on participation by our Foundation Governors
Our Foundation Governors are very hands on and actively participate in the life of the school.
