Governors' News

Message from Chair of Governors,
Julie Wales, Dip Couns, Mbacp

The Governing Body is responsible for the conduct and effective management of the school, acting within the framework set out by the Government Legislation and by the policies of the Local Authority.

Battledown  Centre for Children & Families is at the forefront of developments  in early years provision in teaching and learning and outreach expertise showing other mainstream Centres and specialist  based provision the way forward.

I see the Governing Body as very much a supporting and focussed group of professional and caring volunteers who are committed to the young children and families that attend Battledown Centre. We are also committed to the Headteacher and Teachers and Staff working with us to provide a caring and happy environment for every child attending the Centre and every adult working with us.

If any Parent or member of staff wishes to contact me I would be happy to be contacted.

Julie Wales
Chair of Governors

Governor Update

Thank you to Kenneth Crawford - father of John in Green Class for volunteering to stand as a Parent Governor. As there was only one nomination for two vacancies Kenneth is elected unopposed.
This still leaves us with 1 Parent Governor vacancy! Please consider supporting our school in this very important role. I’ll write to parents again in September requesting nominations.
Can I take this opportunity to thank Verley Layton and Mandy Newman for their support for school as Parent Governors. Their terms of office have now ended.
Also standing down after many years as a Governor is Dr Sue Kinder. Words are not enough to thank her for all her help in making Battledown the place it is today!
