Wakefield Grammar School Foundation

Thursday 11 March, 2010

The Governors of WGSF are a group of committed, hard working people who support the schools not only through their attendance at meetings, but through their presence at Speech Days and at social, cultural and sporting events.

The Governors are Trustees not only of the land, buildings and monies of the Foundation, but also of a 400 year tradition of education in Wakefield.

There is a maximum of 20 Governors on the WGSF Governing Body. The Nominated Governors are appointed by outside bodies, while the Co-opted Governors are elected by Board members. Governors are elected for a Four Year Term of Office.
