PARENT GOVERNORS: The Board of Governors has two
parent representatives elected by the parent body. These
governors are available for parents and are the direct
contact for parents with the governing board.
PASTORAL CARE AND DISCIPLINE: The ways in which
children learn to co-operate, to be considerate and
responsible and to value truth and honesty are parts of
school life, and a vital part of growing up. The Study
Group promotes this by establishing a caring community
which is seen to be both fair and just for everyone.
Children behave badly from time to time as they struggle
with their feelings and build relationships. Normally
these incidents are dealt with by the staff in their
role ‘in loco parentis’. However, with any more serious
incidents parents will be contacted and invited to
discuss the matter. In very serious situations, children
can be excluded from the Study Group.
What we hope is that during their time at the Study
Group all children will gain a clear understanding of
what is expected of them, a sense of right and wrong and
a sense of their own personal worth, both individually
and to the community.
PHOTOGRAPHS: During the year we take photographs
of individual children, classes and the whole school.
These can be purchased by parents and are also used in
our Yearbook. If parents have any issues about their
children's photograph being used in the Yearbook or
other such documents we ask them to let the Head or
Deputy know.
POLICIES: The Study Group has a full range of
policies, related both to the curriculum and general
organisation. These are available for parents to see by
application to the Study Group office.
PTA: The BESG Parent teacher Association (PTA) serves as
an auxiliary and voluntary organisation of the BESG. All
parents and guardians of students attending the BESG are
members of the PTA, as well as teachers and support
staff. The PTA’s guidelines for its activities and
management, as well as its aims and objectives, are set
out in a constitution, which is available to members on
request. The PTA sponsors a variety of events and
activities throughout the year. Monthly committee
meetings are held, which are open to all members. Dates
and times for meetings are announced via the newsletter.
Please contact the current President (contact details
available from the office) for more information.
