Trustees
The DESSC Trustees
The Governing Body of the school is best described as a Board of Trustees, who determine and approve those statutory policies which are required of them, including those as provided under the Articles of Governance, and receive, review and approve other school management policies from the Headteacher who is the Chief Executive.
The Governing Body monitors the implementation of such policies via its sub-committees. Trustees who act as a Body, in good faith and in the light of best advice, will never be vulnerable in law: hence, individual Trustees have no power to act alone, unless otherwise empowered. Any matters relating to a school policy should be directed in the first instance to the Headteacher who will ensure an appropriate member of staff deals with the matter.
The offices of President and Vice-President are the subject of bi-annual election each Autumn Term.
