Annual Governors' Report to Parents 2017-18 Annual Governors’ Report to Parents 2017-18 Osbaston Church in Wales School - Annual Governors Report In accordance with the Section 94 of the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013 To all Parents, 2017/18 was a very good year for our school with excellent results and a strong relationship between school, parents and staff. Our pupils are happy, learning confidently and safely in a school that is dedicated to their future development and wellbeing. We must celebrate the dedication of our teachers in what is a difficult time in education with curriculum changes and lack of funding. Our staff show willingness, capability and maintain a positive attitude to the education of our children. As Chair of Governors and on behalf of the Governing Body I wish to extend our thanks and best wishes to Catherine Jones, our Head Teacher, her staff and our volunteers and to wish everyone the very best for 2018/19. Mrs Shonagh Hay (Chair of Governing Body) 1. Annual Parents Meeting: The Governing Body is no longer required to hold an annual meeting with parents to discuss the report.

  • Outdoor Education
    Appendix A – FUTURE INCOME GENERATING IDEAS Outdoor Education Future Income Generating Ideas 2019 – 2024 1. Scene Setting: Gwent Outdoor Education Service (GOES) has existed since the early 1970’s with a remit to provide outdoor education i.e. ‘fully engage students and teachers in a lesson, all the while embracing the outdoors’. This is an important definition to consider as there is a distinct difference between outdoor education and the provision of outdoor activities, as provided by many private sector companies such as PGL and is clearly the USP for the service. The Council operate and manage GOES via a Shared Service Agreement on behalf of the partner authorities i.e. Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, Newport City Council and Torfaen County Borough Council and currently operates across three residential centres at Hilston Park near Monmouth, Gilwern (both of which are owned by the Council) and Talybont owned by Newport CC. The service currently provides around 20,000 visitor days annually, the vast majority being residential school groups from South East Wales. Around 90% of clients are regular, repeat users and the service also works with adult and youth groups from all over the UK. All groups are provided with bespoke programmes designed to achieve their specific desired outcome including confidence building, self- reliance, team development, enjoyment, activity skills, risk management and environmental awareness. A review was commissioned in June 2015 as the first stage of a process to determine the future direction of GOES. Initial findings identified a long established service benefiting from subsidies derived from an agreement between partner authorities to reduce the cost of residential trips for low income families.

    Partnership working in enhancing the destination brand of rural areas: A case study of Made in Monmouthshire, Wales, UK Claire Haven-Tang , Diane Sedgley Welsh Centre for Tourism Research, Cardiff School of Management, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Western Avenue, Llandaff, Cardiff CF5 2YB, UK Abstract This paper outlines the challenges of destination development and branding in rural tourism destinations, for example a lack of coherent destination propositions, lack of iconic structures, lack of differentiation in their tourism product portfolio and a high incidence of micro- businesses. Such factors mean that the creation of a coherent destination brand is often difficult and yet, at the same time essential, for such destinations. This paper explores the role of collaboration and partnership amongst public, private, and voluntary sector agencies in formulating a product brand which is coherent, asset- based and community-led. Using a case study of the Made in Monmouthshire (MiM) brand, an Adventa-led initiative which serves as a quality benchmark for food, drink, arts and crafts produced within and around Monmouthshire, the article demonstrates the role of collaborative development in the creation and development of a destination brand.
