The Governing Body at Rye Park Nursery School

At Rye Park Nursery School, our governing body plays a vital role in shaping the vision and strategic direction of our school. As a maintained nursery school, we are committed to promoting high standards of educational achievement and ensuring our children have the best possible start to their learning journey.

The Role of our Governors

Our governing body is responsible for overseeing the management and operation of the school. They work closely with the headteacher and staff to:

• Set the school's vision, values, and strategic aims
• Monitor and evaluate the school's performance
• Act as a critical friend to the Headteacher, providing support and challenge
• Ensure the school is accountable to the children, parents, and wider community it serves

Who are our Governors?

Our governing body is made up of key stakeholders, including:

• Parent governors, elected by other parents at the school
• Staff governors, including the Headteacher and other teaching/support staff
• Co-opted governors, appointed by the governing body
• Local authority governors
• Associate members, appointed by the governing body to serve on committees

We aim for a diverse representation to ensure that all voices are heard and that our school's decisions reflect the needs and aspirations of our community.
