Governance Advisory Board

The Governance Advisory Board (GAB) works within the overall ethos and policy framework of the school and acts purely as an advisory body to the school’s management. As an independent school, the vision, values and objectives of the school, its curriculum and overall school management falls under the responsibility and direction of the Lead Proprietor, Greta Alp, working alongside the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team (SLT).

The main responsibilities of the GAB are to -

Provide ideas and recommendations that could enhance the school…
Act as a critical friend to the school, giving constructive criticism and suggesting possible solutions
Offer support in addressing issues related to the school – both practical and technical
Provide constructive advice and practical support when there are major issues of concern in the school that school management are unable to solve.

The GAB meets once a half term (six times per year) with the Lead Proprietor, Greta Alp, Headteacher Alex James and members of the SLT.

We currently have five members of the GAB. If you are interested in becoming part of the GAB, please email nfss@newforestsmallschool.com

The chairperson of the GAB is currently Yildiz Williams. To get in touch with her directly, please write to:
