About Governance

Governance Team

The Governing Body is comprised of a Chair of Governors, ten nominative governors who are appointed by the Worshipful Company of Skinners, and up to seven co-optative governors who are appointed by other governors.

Each member of the Governing Body has an active role and has a responsibility for a different aspect of School life, ultimately working alongside the Senior Team.

The Governing Body is responsible for the School’s policies.

If you wish to contact the Governing Body, please email education@skinners.org.uk.
