Board of Governors

EMAS Board acts in the capacity of ‘critical friend’ to oversee the work of the school. The Principal is ultimately responsible for the performance of the School in achieving its aims. She works with the whole staff team and under the guidance of the Board to achieve these aims and ensure the smooth running of the school’s business activities.

The Board provides direction and support to the Principal, the School Finance Team and the staff of the School and independent adjudication as part of the School’s complaints procedure.

The Board meets no less than once per term to:

  • Advise on policy and strategy for the School
  • Monitor alignment with national directives
  • Oversee the School’s finances
  • Recommend actions in managing EMAS from a business perspective

Between meetings Board Members may spend time working on individual projects that contribute to the strategic objectives of the School.

The Board’s terms of reference allow for governors from a range of backgrounds and professions whose skills, knowledge and expertise greatly benefit the work of the school in meeting its aims and objectives and contribute to future development.
