Welcome from Niall Brennan – CEO at Artemis Education
Our mission is to improve access to outstanding education by designing, delivering, opening, and then operating new schools. We combine the best educational traditions with cutting-edge education innovation. We start, literally, at the drawing board: we design our schools from the ground up to maximise the learning experience.
We deliver exceptional facilities; we hire incredible staff and then we combine academic rigour with diversity of experience to enable our children to flourish. Our schools focus on academic rigour, universal values, individual growth, and multi-faceted development to enable students to realise their full potential, build resilience and become responsible citizens of the world.
We focus, first and foremost, on the individual child and their family.
We deliver internationally accredited curriculums enriched by dynamic extracurricular experience. We graduate expressive, self-confident, and critically minded individuals, with a solid foundation to flourish in higher education and/or life.
Overview of the governance structure
Artemis Education support their schools via a governance model which allows schools to retain independence, alongside ensuring a high level of quality.
The governing body, made up of representatives from Artemis Education, meets formally three times per year along with receiving regular feedback from schools.
The five core functions of the governing body are:
- Ensuring the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school are clearly defined.
- Appointing and performance managing the Head of School, who is granted authority to run the day-to-day operations of the school.
- Ensuring that the Head of School carries out their responsibilities for the sake of the educational performance of the school.
- Ensuring the sound, proper and effective use of the school’s financial resources.
- Ensuring the school is certified as a safe environment.
Ultimately, the governors are charged with ensuring the long-term success of each Artemis school. With this comes a responsibility to balance long-term financial viability alongside ensuring schools deliver incredible, whole-child education focussing on academic rigour, universal values, individual growth, and multi-faceted development to enable our students to realise their full potential, build resilience and become responsible citizens of the world.
