Governance at Crofton House

Board of Governors

The Board of Governors of Crofton House School is a group of dedicated individuals who volunteer their time and expertise to support the School in fulfilling its purpose and proposition. The Board is supported in its work by several Board committees, occasional task forces, and the CHS Foundation. 

Board of Governors Committees and Crofton House School Foundation 

The Board of Governors is supported by a number of Board committees and the CHS Foundation. Each of these is made up of a small group of volunteers. All Board committees are chaired by a member of the CHS Board of Governors. 

Volunteering in Governance

Each year, the chair of each committee works with the Chair of the Nomination and Governance Committee to rotate committee membership, creating opportunities for parents and guardians with relevant skills and experience to join a Board committee. Most often, Board members first serve on Board committees before being asked to join the Board of Governors. All Board and committee members sign the Crofton House School Board of Governors Code of Conduct.

On the Board of Governors, there is a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 17 Board members, where a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 12 of whom are elected by the members of the Society (the parents of the School and Board members). Elected members may serve up to three consecutive three-year terms.  

Up to four additional members may be appointed for a one-year term. The Head of the School also sits on the Board of Governors as an ex-officio member.
