It is governed by a Board of Governors, chaired by Nicholas John Combes, and led by Head of School Dr. Colin Dickinson. The school is established with a vision to create a "thriving community" rather than just a school, emphasizing a values-driven approach from its inception.

Community
The school community is actively engaged through its "Community Service & Stewardship" pillar, which turns empathy into action through age-appropriate initiatives. Community events include "Charity Bake Sales," "Toy & Book Drives," and "Eco-Warriors" activities for younger students, while older students participate in "Park Restoration," "Elderly Home Visitation," and "NGO Partnership Projects."

To facilitate this connection, the school provides a dedicated "Parent Portal" and describes the school environment as a community where families and educators work together to ensure every child is known and valued.
