The day to day running of the School is the responsibility of the Executive Principal and the Headteacher.

Governing Body Committees

There are three main committees which meet separately – the Education Committee, the Finance and General Purposes Committee (F&GP) and the Marketing and Development Committee. These allow Governors time to debate and examine key issues relating to these areas, and also meet several times over the course of the School year.
