SCHOOL EXECUTIVE GOVERNORS

TKAT Thanet Joint Local Governing Body (JLGB)

Three vacancies have become available for skilled volunteers to join an executive group overseeing the governance of five Thanet primary schools: Dame Janet (Ramsgate), Drapers Mills (Margate), Newlands (Ramsgate), Northdown (Margate) and Salmestone (Margate). The five schools are part of The Kemnal Academies Trust (TKAT). The JLGB comprises a number of independent, appointed governors plus the headteachers of the five schools and the Regional Executive Director of TKAT East.

The JLGB is a strategic group that meets three times a year at one of the five schools. The key issues for 2019-20 are: leadership at all levels; attendance and well-being of pupils and staff, and the attainment of vulnerable groups including SEND and the More Able. These are major elements of the School Development Plans in each of the five schools this year.

Essential skills of governors are the ability to work as port of a team, a commitment to collective responsibility and the ability to think strategically. Governors provide an external perspective and an ability to challenge assumptions and look for the best solutions. As a governor you will bring your enthusiasm, experience and expertise to effectively support the headteachers and staff. It is also a great way to support the local community and improve the lives of young people.

If you are interested in offering your time and interest in the education of young people, please contact me on rsilk@dmpa-tkat.org and I will arrange a meeting to discuss our work and for you to ask any questions that you will undoubtedly have about the role.

Roger Silk (Chair, Joint Local Governing Body)

Information about the school

'Readers for life, leaders in life.'

Welcome to Dame Janet - a family school, in the heart of Ramsgate.

Inspired by the children of Ramsgate we are a school on two sites, with a thriving forest school and other outdoor learning opportunities. Dame Janet is a GOOD school really worth finding out more about. Our vision is for every child to develop the skill and the will to become life long readers. Children enjoy a challenging but fun curriculum that prepares them well for their futures. From their earliest days to their last in Year Six, the children make good progress and immerse themselves in our rich curriculum. Children have travelled through time, explored the wonders of the ancient world and fought off monsters; using a range of technology and experiencing learning in different environments. Our provision and our focus on personal development and welfare is outstanding. The whole school is passionately committed to giving pupils a wide range of real-life and enriching experiences and through these the children have gone off to the secondary school of their choice prepared and ready to grow and keep learning.

If you would like to find out more about the school and its work, then please visit or follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
