Governing Body

Unlike most other independent schools, the Council of the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST) rather than individual school governors, holds the ultimate legal and financial responsibility for the running of the GDST schools.

Kensington Prep, in common with other GDST schools, has a body of local school governors whose role is to foster excellence in the school, help develop its strategies and plans, advise on ways in which the available resources might be used to best possible effect, and to help maintain the school’s high standing in the local community. A governor’s meeting is held once a term.

Governors are appointed from the school and local community, so they have local knowledge of the school and the community it serves.

Mrs Felicia Mockett is Chairman of the School Governing Body. You are welcome to contact her via the school:
