Who are we?

Trustees are responsible for controlling the work, management and administration of the charity. Our team all volunteer their time for free to help The Friends.

The trustees are:

Ling Marshall and Penny Boulyaphol (Co-Chairs); Maxime Senecaut (Treasurer); Samantha White (Secretaries); Richard Ferraris (Communications); Robert Macdonald; and Debbie Bowen.

Friends representatives

All classes in the school have a ‘Friends Rep’. These reps provide a vital link between parents and The Friends. Everyone who is a carer or parent with a child at the school is a Friend and anyone can join in.

Volunteers

The Friends could not operate without a team of dedicated volunteers, who assist trustees in organising events and through a range of ad hoc activities.
