Our School’s Leadership

College Board & Governing Body

College Board

Created to provide an umbrella body for the school, together with its various Associated Bodies, our Board provides valuable longer term strategic planning and support, while ensuring continuity.

Comprising members who provide desirable skills and influence, our Board monitors the respective Associated Body strategies to ensure alignment with the school’s strategy and to optimise synergies.

In the longer term, the Board assists the Trust with building a substantial fund base to futureproof College and ensure the school’s sustainability.
