Governors

Meet Our School Governors

The school's governing body includes parents, teachers, community, hospital representatives and elected members from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster. 

  • Governors have an overall responsibility to ensure the school is operating within the legal requirements
  • Governors are responsible for monitoring the curriculum and school policies, managing the budget, staff appointments and performance management of the Principal.
