I'm a fairly new governor in a fairly new (academy) secondary school. We're a very committed and involved team of governors, with a high percentage of parents (not just elected parents). Following the recent open evening someone suggested we should write a note of thanks to the staff, and that led to wider discussion about whether there are other times in the year we should be doing the same.
What is the experience in other schools? I tend to think that as governors we are very much on the same team as the teachers, working together, rather than in some lofty position of patronage (for example several of us were helping at the Open Evening too), but I want to do what is right and expected, so don't flame me if I'm wrong about that - I'm asking because I want the advice.
