The School Community is diverse, comprising individuals with a range of identities and backgrounds. Traditionally all community members lived in the school. Now there is a broad mix including permanent live-in co-workers, permanent employees and short-term volunteers, in addition to governors, friends, supporters and not least the pupils and their parents and families.

Given the different identities of those who comprise the school community, there are different routes into getting involved. More details are given under each section.
