The Board of Governors

The Headmaster, Mr Crute, is responsible to the Board of Governors on all school matters. The Board currently comprises 28 Governors and 1 co-opted Governor. The Board bears responsibility in law for the activities of the school. The Secretary to the Board, Mr McConnell, advises on governance, legal matters and the financial framework. Many governors are ‘Old Armachians’ and parents (past and present) and the composition of the Board covers a comprehensive range of the professional skill-sets required to lead and run such a large and diverse organisation, both operationally and strategically.
The principal functions of the Board are:
1. To monitor and to advise on all aspects of the school’s activities
2. The control of the school’s finances.
