Governance Committee
Our Governance Committee, Regent International School Advisory Council (RISAC) comprises the Board of Directors (BOD) and an Advisory Council.
The Advisory Council includes all stakeholders such as parents, teachers and senior leaders. This body meets three to four times a year and provides regular input to the Board. The Advisory Council’s role is to support the continuous improvement of the school and ensure the school leadership’s accountability towards the quality of education delivered.
Sub-committees have also been created to enable parents and leaders to evaluate key aspects of provision in more detail. Sub-committees focus on key areas including: Inclusion, Child Protection, Safeguarding, Health & Safety, Learning and Teaching, Attainment and Progress, Leadership, and Professional Development.
