The School Executive meets once weekly during the school terms to deal with all operational issues around the school. The school executive reports to the headmaster and attends all board meetings presenting reports in advance of the meetings to ensure that the board members remain up to date with all operational and human resources issues of the school.
In turn, the management structure is further divided into two senior management teams that are made up of teaching staff; the Senior School Management Team and the Junior School Management Team. Weekly meetings with the headmaster occur within these teams to ensure that operational issues on the ground are dealt with and managed successfully. A very important facet of these meetings is progress reports on the different curriculum areas and the assurance that subject meetings take place regularly between the Senior School subjects heads and the Junior School subject heads.
