Governors and Governance

Our Governors provide our school with strategic leadership, alongside our Headteacher and senior staff. They also serve the vital role of providing oversight when the school is making important decisions and setting objectives that impact our community.

They have been appointed from a wide variety of backgrounds. This means that our school has a suitable balance of staff and student insight, as well as representation from individuals who understand the importance of education and the inspiring careers which can result from specialising in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) at school and university.

Our Governors' Declarations of Interest can be found here.

Imperial Maths School is part of Frontier Learning Trust. Please visit the Frontier Learning Trust website for information on the governance structure and how this oversees the strategic governance of Imperial Maths School.

Imperial Maths School's local governance is overseen by the Local Governing Body, which is responsible for holding the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team to account for the educational performance of the school. The Governing Body discharge the functions that have been delegated to it by the Board of Trustees.
