Caldicott’s Governing Council comprises a minimum of eight and maximum of fourteen governors, each of whom acts as a Trustee and Company Director. Governors are appointed for a five-year term which can be extended by one further term by mutual consent. They are all volunteers and very generously give their time and expertise gratis. Their short biographies are listed below.

The Council meets collectively at least three times each year with substantial work completed between meetings through a range of Governor-led sub-committees each of which is focused on a particular area of interest. Additionally, many of them visit the school frequently and assist with a wide range of core activities and business.
