Governance
Whitstone School is an Academy School, operated under the name of ‘Whitstone School Academy Trust’.
Academies are independent, state-funded schools, which receive their funding directly from central Government, rather than through a local authority.
The day-to-day running of the school is the responsibility of the head teacher, overseen by our Board of Trustees.
The Whitstone School Board of Trustees plays a vital role in the leadership and direction of the school. Whitstone School is fortunate to benefit from the wealth of knowledge and experience each School Trustee brings to the table, and we are thankful for the time and expertise they afford us in being such an important part of the Whitstone School Community.
If you would be interested in being involved in the development of Whitstone School at a strategic level and would like to apply to be a School Trustee, please contact us.
