Welcome to the Governor's section!

The Board of Governors at Walbrook Nursery School

are made up from three categories:

Co-opted Governor - a governor who is appointed by existing governors on the basis of skills

and/or experience.

Parent Governor - a governor who is appointed by parents of either Walbrook Nursery School,

Pear Tree Infant School or existing governors..

Currently we do not have any Associate Members on our Board of Governors.

Associate Members are not governors, they can be pupils, school staff and people who want to

contribute specifically on issues related to their area of expertise,

(for instance, finance) can be appointed as associate members.

"I am an experienced teacher of Polish language both as foreign and as native. Our family has lived

in Derby for 7 years already. I volunteered at the Polish Saturday School in Derby as a teacher

for two years. Since November 2011 I have worked for Derby City Council’s New Communities

Achievement Team as a bilingual teaching assistant and family support worker. Almost from the beginning of the post at Derby City I was given Pear Tree Infant school to provide support for new arrivals with responsibility for primary strategy. During these years I have managed to build a relationship with the members of new communities in Derby, with Polish, Slovak and Czech families.  I help them to admit their children to school and then support them during the lessons. I know their problems, concerns and understand that they feel, sometimes lost in a different education system,because I went through the same experience."
