Can any school governors please advise?

[Emmags0309]

Context: last ofsted was very critical of governance. Overall school requires improvement. A lot of parents have been lied to by head teachers.

My question: is it okay for 2 head teachers to play a game of "how many Abba songs can the exec head teacher mention during the governors meeting?". The other head teacher kept a tally. All planning and results of this game were posted to their public twitter accounts.

We know the chair of governors won't care. Should we reporting this? Who would we report to? We don't want them to treat our kids' school as a joke but we're not sure anyone will take us seriously. We have screenshots of it all but is it really that bad?

Many thanks for replies.

I know what my reaction as a chair of governors would be. For 2 minutes I would be happy with the "in-joke" but then would be looking to the 2 headteachers to show their professionalism, not take the ......
The problem you are going to have is that everything that you say screams at me this is a governing body who are not capable of doing their job and therefore will not be worth contacting.
Would be intrigued to know the set-up with an executive head and presumably a head of school as to who is actually doing the work!
The idea that they are sharing this on public twitter account would drive me mad. Do they not understand how much damage they are doing to both the school and themselves? Clearly they have not appreciated anything around an appropriate social media policy for the school. This sounds like misconduct and depending on exactly what they have put on twitter could be serious misconduct, which could be a sacking offence.
As to who to contact, it rather depends on the school - is it maintained or an academy? If it is a maintained school then I would be tempted to ignore convention which is to go through the school's complaint procedure but to go straight to the Director of Children's service of the Local Authority with your screen shots. They will need to decide whether this is the last straw of the GB being useless and need to put in a new GB so they can deal with these two head teachers. If it is an academy then the people to go is someone within the trust, which is above the GB and the head teachers.
If you want to send me a private post with more details I may be more able to help with who to go to.

Admission,

Thanks. I will send a short message tomorrow once I'm back home (away for work at the moment). We're hoping this will all be less of an issue if our school transfer request for our daughter is successful but the chances aren't good. I'll keep it salient because I don't want to take up too much of your time.

Not appropriate at all and they would get short shrift from me as Chair and my Clerk.

You need to raise a complaint with the Academy management. Disappointing behaviour and disrespectful to the rest of the GB.
