Our Legal Entity
Queen Margaret’s School for Girls is a charitable company limited by guarantee, registered in England. Full company details and trustees’ information are available on the Charity Commission website.

The Governors are responsible for the management of the company Queen Margaret's School, York Limited. The Governors are, therefore, responsible and liable for the governance and functioning of the School. The Governors are accountable in varying degrees to a variety of stakeholders including girls, parents and staff, the Charity Commission, and Companies House.

The Governors meet as a full board once a term and all members of the Board also serve on one of four Committees; those Committees also meet once a term and report to the full Board. The four committees are the Education Committee, the Pastoral Committee, the Business Committee and the Development Committee. Each Committee has an appointed Chairman and a defined remit (which is kept under review).
