HRH Princess Beatrice has shown her support for education and for young people through her work as Ambassador and Patron of many organisations, and particularly as Trustee and Founder of Big Change. Following established protocols, we worked with the Royal Household to identify a suitable patron who shares our commitment to education and supporting young people. Patrons provide support and profile but do not have governance responsibilities. Our Council and elected representatives maintain strategic control over policy and direction. You can find out more about our governance, Council and upcoming Council elections here.
