Governing Body

Governing Body – Supporting Excellence in Early Education

Our Governing Body works closely with the Executive Headteacher and staff to ensure the best possible experience for the children at our nurseries. We believe in openness, collaboration, and shared responsibility, helping to shape strategic decisions, support new initiatives, and address challenges together.

How Governors Support the Nurseries:

✔ Attending Governing Body Meetings to help guide the school’s direction
✔ Visiting the nurseries regularly to stay engaged with staff and children
✔ Undertaking training to develop the skills needed to provide effective support

The Governing Body consists of up to fifteen members, plus a Clerk to Governors. Each year, three parent governors are appointed for a two-year term, ensuring families have a voice in our leadership.
