Board of Governors
The Board of Governors ensured that the School fulfilled its curricular and pastoral care responsibilities and provided a wide range of extra-curricular activities for all pupils. The Board and its Finance and General Purposes Committee ensured that the school operated within the level of grant-aid provided by the Department of Education and made effective use of the financial resources available to it. The Board Sub Committees consist of Admissions, Appeals, Audit, Discipline, Education, Education Visits, Finance & General Purposes, Sport and Safeguarding.
Whilst the Board of Governors has overall responsibility for the management of the School, the Principal is delegated by the Board of Governors with the responsibility for the strategic leadership and management of the School, including the School’s finances.
