Organisation and management
The Board of Governors generally meet three times a year for routine matters and also for one full day together to discuss the Governors’ and Head’s vision for the College. This provides an opportunity for the Board to focus on particular areas to consider, develop and monitor the College’s strategic direction.
There are, in addition, four permanent sub-committees comprised of Governors and the Senior Leadership Team, that meet at least once a term:
- Safeguarding and Pastoral
- Education
- Finance and Infrastructure
- Enterprises, Charity, Commercial and Overseas
Training
New Governors are inducted into the workings of the College, both as a company and as a charity, by being invited to attend all of the sub-committee meetings as observers in their first year of appointment. In addition, they are provided with guidance from the Charity Commission, AGBIS (Association of Governing Bodies of Independent Schools) and ISC (Independent Schools Council). They are also provided with relevant updates and given the opportunity to attend relevant training courses throughout the year.
