Seven independent advisors — from education, technology, law, policy, and the arts — who meet the school’s leadership twice a year for a structured dialogue of reflection, sense-making, and guidance.
The Advisory Board is not a management body. It exists to ask the questions a busy school can forget to ask itself: What should we consciously protect even as we modernise? Where have good ideas struggled — not because of intent, but because of capacity or context? What do students need most that they don’t yet realise? Its perspectives directly inform the school’s priorities for each academic year.

Each biannual dialogue works through the life of the school — what we tried, what we learned, and what deserves to be deepened, adapted, or paused in the coming academic year.
