The Governors have overall responsibility for the school. The Governors appoint the Headmaster, who is responsible for the direction of the school within a broad approved framework. The Governors also, in consultation with the Head, appoint the Bursar, who has particular responsibility for the school’s finances and premises. Board of Governors Meetings of the Board of Governors take place once each term, with an additional strategy meeting in the Autumn Term.
