Kingswood Council
Kingswood is supported by a strong and active Council (Board of Governors) which bears an overall responsibility for the School’s corporate governance – “to lead, govern and monitor” the business of the College.
Together with the College Head, the Kingswood College Council supports the School’s Senior Management Team to oversee decisions of strategic significance for the future.
