SCHOOL GOVERNANCE

The King Alfred School Society (the Society) is the company and registered charity that owns and operates The King Alfred School. Council, the School’s governing body, elected from the Society membership, oversees the running of the Society and the School.

Council has the ultimate legal responsibility for the Society and the School, and operates in three capacities simultaneously. Its members are company directors, charity trustees and also school governors, with all of the responsibilities that these three roles entail.

Council operates through a series of committees, each of which covers a specific area of responsibility.

Anyone who is a member of the Society can stand for Council. Elections are held every year in February at the Society’s AGM. Council members come from a wide variety of backgrounds and have many different skills.
