We are still searching for local governance support at Woodlea. Despite a plea for someone to step forward and potentially be the Chair of their Local Governing Committee (LGC), this post remains vacant. Woodlea is such a lovely school to work with; if you have considered supporting them previously or if you know of anyone else who might be interested in this important role, then do please get in touch at HR@ TandridgeLearningTrust.co.uk. This is a voluntary role but the commitment is only to Chair their meeting twice per term and meeting with the Headteacher to discuss and set the agenda. If you are enthusiastic about education and you enjoy working positively with others to support children’s learning experience in school, then this could be a great opportunity for you.

Online safety for all children remains a high priority for our Trust and we continue to support parents with articles and workshops. You can find our latest article on Snapchat on pages 16-17. Please do take the time to read this. Our aim is always to provide you with facts and information about certain sites to enable you to understand and monitor what your child may see or have access to online. The more we know, the more we can protect our children and advise them on how to stay safe. This is so important, particularly as we go into a holiday period when children may have more screen time than usual. We hope you find it useful.

May we wish all our families a lovely Spring Break and let’s hope the weather improves so we can get outside and be more active.

The Oak Centre, which is part of the Tandridge Learning Trust site on Tithepit Shaw Lane, has not been used regularly since the closure of the Sure Start Centre. We wanted to use it as a facility that could provide services to the local community and have made it available free-of-charge to Children and Family Health Surrey, which is the Surrey-wide NHS community health service for children and young people from birth up to 19
