Governance
Please click on the link below to access a webpage dedicated to Garretts Green Nursery Schools financial benchmarking. This allows you to compare financial information with similar schools.
The school has an established Governing Body in line with the Government's requirements for all schools. This is in accordance with an Instrument and Articles of Government.
The Governing Body must meets every half term and this is usually an evening meeting. The finance committee meets every half a term prior to the FGB and the Chair of this committee reports back to the full Governing Body. The school also has a School Improvement Committee that meets three times a year; Autumn, Spring and Summer (in between each FGB) the SIC is made up of Governors and the school staff team.
It is expected that the Governors will take an active interest in the life of the school and will be invited to all appropriate school functions. Governors work in partnership with staff and provide support and challenge.
Governors often assume a specific interest or role for, example, in Special Educational Needs or Safeguarding. Our school is fortunate to have an active and involved Governing Body, many members making visits to the school to carry out a Safeguarding audit, to attend parents' functions for feedback to the main group or to monitor the quality of the provision.
The Governing Body has seven members with two parent governor vacancies.
