MEET OUR GOVERNORS
Our governing body act in the best interests of all our pupils at Westminster Nursery School. The governing body have an important part to play in raising school standards through their key roles of setting strategic direction, ensuring accountability and monitoring and evalulating school performance. We are delighted that our governors are frequent visitors to the school and engage readily with both staff and pupils.

Co-opted Governor - Steve Hogben
For many years I was a local councillor in the area, and when the opportunity to join the governors arose, I accepted the new challenge readily. It is vital that the only maintained nursery school in the whole borough can continue the great work it does to support young children develop and thrive. I want to play my part in working to keep this very valuable asset in our community. |

Parent Governor - Leanne Jennings I come from a childcare background having worked as a qualified Early Years practitioner and Playworker for over 17 years. I attended Westminster Nursery over 30 years ago having grown up nearby. My son is now attending and enjoying every minute of it. When we came to visit the nursery we immediately felt a warmth from the staff, within a caring, stimulating environment. I knew my son would thrive here. So when a parent governor vacancy became available I knew I wanted the opportunity to support a school which strives to meet the educational and emotional needs of the children in their care as well as their families. |

Co-opted Governor - Graham Chadwick
My two sons attended Gainsborough Junior School, Ruskin High School and South Cheshire Collage before going on to university. I have been part of a number of successful Governing Bodies over the years, so when the opportunity came along to join the Governing Body at Westminster it was a very easy decision, and I’m sure I will enjoy working with the team at Westminster. |
