The Governing Body
The Council of Management
Port Regis is governed by a Board of Governors, entitled the Council of Management, whose prime responsibility is to ensure that the School provides the best education for its children. It also has a duty to protect its property and maintain its effectiveness as a charity.
The Council of Management comprises a group of people who voluntarily contribute on a collective basis a varied and differing range of experiences applicable to the functions of the school. The Council seeks to achieve a balanced membership by drawing its Governors from academic, business and pastoral care backgrounds as well as differing age and gender profiles.
The full Council meets once a term although much of its work is carried out through committees which meet on a regular basis and report to the Council. The AGM precedes the Lent meeting. The Council sees its main objective as delineating a clear strategy and direction for the school and ensuring that the Governors and Headmaster share a common leadership agenda. Furthermore, it expects to supply the Headmaster with support to implement the agreed strategy. The Council is responsible for the discharge of its responsibilities to the pupils, parents and staff.
The Council receive reports from the Headmaster, Bursar and Chairmen of the committees covering a range of activities which include, but are not limited to, such matters as staff appointments and departures, academic, finance, property, pastoral and medical care, sport, scholarships and awards, class sizes, community links and public benefit.
Communication in the first instance should always be through the Headmaster although an avenue of contact to the Governors is always open through the Chairman, Mr Mark Vaughan-Lee, and letters can be addressed to him at the School Office.
