Main Duties
• Prepare the annual budget for review by the Principal and the Board of Governors’ Finance Committee.
• Produce the statutory accounts of the school and oversee all audits.
• Chart a financial course aligned with the Strategic Plan to support the school’s growth and occasionally spearhead fundraising initiatives.
