The role of the Governing Board is to determine the aims and overall conduct of the School, and to formulate and review the School’s strategic plans. While the day to day running of the School is delegated to the Head and the Bursar, supported by other members of the School’s Senior Management Team, ultimate responsibility for strategy, finances and policies lies with the Governing Board.

Much of the Board’s work is undertaken by four Committees, being the Finance & Property Committee, the Education Committee, the Health & Safety Committee and the Marketing Committee, each of which also meets at the School once a term. Governors also visit the School regularly in their own time to gain greater insight into its activities.

The quality of the governance is excellent
