Trustees

The Members are equivalent to shareholders of a company and have ultimate control over the direction of the school. They ensure that Trustees are acting in accordance with the school’s charitable object, receive the financial accounts and annual report, and appoint some of the Trustees. They are also the only body who can amend the School’s Articles of Association.

The Trustees are responsible for the three core strategic functions of governance (strategic direction, holding the Headteacher to account for educational performance and overseeing the financial performance of the school). Our Trustees are also company directors and are charity trustees. As such, they ensure compliance with charity and company law and the school’s funding agreement.
