Our Board of Directors comprises a mix of parents and teachers (the Chair must always be a parent). We can also appoint Directors who bring specialist skills or knowledge to the Board eg business, legal or accountancy skills.

Our Directors are charity trustees as well as being Directors of a Company Limited by Guarantee, and any parent from a Member group can stand for nomination to the Board.  Read about becoming a Director here and apply to become a Director here.
