Chair - Naunton Park Pre School

The Pre-School has been operating within Naunton Park Primary School since 1984.

The Pre-School is run as a charity, and is overseen by a Committee of volunteer officers and trustees. This Committee works as a team to run Pre-School's financial and administrative affairs, as well as to support the staff and organise fundraising.
