Governance
The Mountbatten School Members are the custodians of the governance of the trust. The Members are:
- Mr Sean Flood

The Board of Trustees at the Mountbatten School consists of:
- Six Trustees appointed under Article 50 (appointed by the Members)
- Two Parent Trustees
- Two Co-Opted Trustees
Trustees are involved in setting a long-term strategic direction for the school, act as a critical friend to the school and ensure that the school is accountable for its actions. They are responsible for setting policies and objectives, approving the budget, appointing staff and challenging and supporting the senior staff.
The full Board of Trustees meets twice a term, but each Trustee also serves on at least one other committee. A Trustee is appointed to serve for a term of office of 4 years, but can be reappointed or re-elected at the end of that term. The trustees are below.
