The Governing Body is federated across Chertsey and Dorking Nursery Schools and collectively manages the organisation.  The Governing Body is responsible for 3 key functions:-

1. Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction; 
2. Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its children, and the performance management of staff; and
3. Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.

The Governing Body also leads and manages Chertsey Nursery School and Dorking Nursery School - click here for an overview of the Governance structure and committees.  

Our Governing Body is made of 12 individuals who contribute in different ways, either in their role as a member of staff, parent or from the community. We invite specific staff to attend some meetings as part of their role. You can find out more about our team of Governors below.
