Governing board
Our Governing Board works hard to ensure that children receive the best possible education and care. The Governing Board also helps with planning for the future. The governing board meetings each term to discuss the Curriculum, Finance and Health and Safety matters. The Governing Board consists of the co-headteachers, representatives from the Staff Team, parents, members of the community and Local Authority. Your views are vitally important in helping to shape and develop the Nursery. We have parent representatives join the board. The normal term of office is four years. Parents of children attending the Nursery are eligible to stand for election to the Governing Board and to vote in these elections.
Meet the Governors
Alison Mitchell - Chair of Governors
I was a Reception teacher in Stockport until 6 years ago. Early years provision has always been a passion of mine. I value the importance of laying the foundation for children as they start their educational journey. There is just something so special about an early years setting.
I am a governor because I want to support Reddish Vale nursery and to use my experiences to help benefit all the children. I enjoy visiting the nursery and being kept up to date with the day to day running of the Nursery.
Katie Bennett - Co-Headteacher
Emma Easmon - Staff Governor / SENDCO
I am the Nursery Teacher and SENDCO at Reddish Vale Nursery. I attend the Teaching and Learning Committee where I support the discussions regarding learning and assessment. I also attend the full governing board meetings.
Elaine Griffiths - Business Manager
I am the Business Manager here at Reddish Vale and I attend the Resources and Full Governing meetings. I closely monitor the finance aspect of the Nursery, which is shared with the headteacher and then governors throughout the year.
Helen Rowe - Parent Governor
I decided to be a parent governor as I think it is a great opportunity to have a say and make a change in Nursery. I think it is good to have a parent perspective who have children that have/are attending Reddish Vale Nursery.
I currently work in the banking industry and have done for many years. It is something I enjoy and works for me and my family. My son currently attends the Nursery and my eldest son went here a few years ago. Both boys love it and have thrived.
