LINK GOVERNOR
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce
myself as the school’s link governor. My name is
Rachael Cunningham and I have been a parent
governor for almost 4 years and have recently
taken on the role as Link Governor for Special
Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and
Looked After Children (LAC). I have 2 daughters at
AVS and a son who left in July 2015. My day job is
working for the NHS as a Community Nurse which I
have done for the past 10 years, and I believe this
role along with having a child with a special need,
puts me in a good position to support the school. I
understand the pressure that having a child with a
special need can place on a family, and the
importance of having an excellent educational
provision.
I believe Avon Valley School supports their special
needs students to a very high standard. As the
SEND/LAC governor I will be working alongside the
SENC O Mrs. Stock, to offer support and to look at
ways that can enhance the learning/support of our
students with special needs so they can achieve
their goals. One of my responsibilities of the role is
also to act as a voice for parents, so to fulfil this I
will be available to speak to on Parents’ Evenings.
I look forward to meeting you all. Please don’t
hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance

INTER-HOUSE ROUNDERS
On Thursday 26th May, an Inter House rounders tournament took
place on the school field. The sun was shining and over 120 staff
and students turned out to compete together for their House.
There was a fantastic atmosphere and it was great to see staff
and students working together, whilst having fun. A thoroughly
enjoyable afternoon was had by participants and spectators!
