Board of Trustees

Role of the Trustees

  • Give support to senior leadership and offer advice
  • Agree policies, targets and priorities
  • Monitor and review the performance of the school

Position: voluntary

Critical Friend

The trustees also act, both individually and as a group, as a critical friend to the senior leadership of the school, providing support and challenge by:

  • Giving support and constructive advice
  • Being a sounding board and a second opinion for ideas
  • Seeking information with which to improve proposals
  • Challenging and asking questions

Composition of the Board

The Board consists of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 members. The Board seeks an appropriate balance of parents and other members of the international community with specific skills and experience that will benefit the school. Trustees may serve in office for a normal term of 4 years, with 2 further extensions of 2 years each on re-election by the Board.
