Working closely with its sponsor, University College London, the Governing Body support the work of the school to ensure that each child will fulfil their potential and become a confident and articulate citizen, and that staff are supported to flourish in their careers.

There is now an opportunity for new governors to join us in working on this vision. We want governors to be interested in the broad range of the role, but we would be interested in applications from individuals who have an interest or expertise in admissions, finance or curriculum.

We would welcome applications from those interested in developing into the role of Chair of Governors at the end of the current Chair’s term of office.
