Our Governors and Trustees

"The proprietor ensures that the leadership and management demonstrate good skills and knowledge, and fulfil their responsibilities effectively, so that the other standards are consistently met and they actively promote the well-being of the pupils.''  Independent Schools Inspectorate Inspection Report 2019

Our school is run by a Trust whose trustees ensure the integrity of the Trust and overview the Catholic ethos of the school. The trustees appoint the Board of Governors and trustees themselves are appointed by the Bishop of Brentwood.

We have a governing body of up to nine members with a wide range of expertise to support the school and ensure that it maintains and develops high standards. Governors are appointed for a four-year term (and may submit for re-appointment at the end of each four years). They meet with the Headmistress as a full governing body five times a year and may also meet at additional times to work on additional projects.

Our Trustees are:

Mr M Blundell (Chair of Trustees), Mr D Savage, Mrs T Alder, Mr D Maxim, Father J Harvey, Mrs A D'Cruz & Father R Page.
