School Executive & Trustee Governance Board
The school is an educational charity and company limited by guarantee.
The overall responsibility for the day to day running of our school lies with the Interim Principal Babiche Deysel, supported by the Leadership team.
The Governance Board Trustees oversee strategic direction and are accountable to the Charity Commission and the ISI for the financial and legal running of the school.
The school employs a professional Clerk to the Board and also external accountancy firm.
Governance work carried out by Trustee Governors is unremunerated and Trustees volunteer their time - on average 2-14 hours per week dependent on area of focus.
The role of Trustee Governor is voluntary. Following a formal application process Trustees are elected to the Board with appointments based on having professional skills relevant to the needs of the school Board at a given point in the school’s development.
The Board is made up of both current and former GWS parents, and also external members with no other association with the school. All Trustees work to the Nolan Principles of Public Life.
We are particularly interested to hear from prospective External Trustees, ideally with prior Board experience and with professional experience in:
Education
Safeguarding
Human resources
Property Development/Management/Estates
