FoSM Trustees

FoSM is led by a small group of volunteer parents who serve as Trustees of the charity.

Trustees provide oversight, set priorities and ensure that funds are used responsibly and in line with our charitable purpose. Trustees act in the best interests of the pupils and wider school community.

Trustees serve in a voluntary capacity and receive no payment for their role.
