The Team Behind

Education

The Board of Governors, which consists of representatives from the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), the Department of Education, parents and staff, has responsibility for the appointment of staff and the running of the school.

The Principal, with the Leadership Team, is responsible for the formulation of curriculum policy, pastoral care and general administration. Heads of Department are responsible for the teaching programmes in each subject area. Year Teachers supervise the general welfare and the academic progress of pupils. Teachers are responsible for educating pupils in their subject specialism. The Bursar and Office Staff facilitate the administration of the school.

Contact

If you need to talk to someone in school, your child’s Collect Teacher will be your first point of contact.

You may also wish to contact Year Teachers who co-ordinate the work of Collect Teachers, monitor academic progress and deal with disciplinary matters.

Heads of Department lead all aspects of learning in their area of the curriculum and are the best point of contact for concerns about individual subjects.

Members of staff listed above can be contacted through the General Office. Please be mindful that during the day staff are most likely to be teaching a class and may not be able to respond immediately. However, we will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible.
