Governance Advisory Committee
The organisational structure of Oxfordian College is overseen by a distinguished Board of Governance, which plays a pivotal role in the strategic and operational oversight of the institution. This governing board holds the authority to appoint the Principal, who serves as the college's chief leader, entrusted with the responsibility of providing both academic leadership and comprehensive supervision across all areas. The Board of Governance itself is composed of a diverse group of individuals, including directors, senior managers, external independent members, and a Chair. Together, these members collaboratively manage and guide the overall affairs and long-term objectives of the College, ensuring that it operates in alignment with its mission and values.
The operational committees are responsible for overseeing and managing the essential operations of Oxfordian College.
The Board of Governance at Oxfordian College establishes the College’s strategy and evaluates all aspects of its management and resources. It meets three times a year, ensuring its protocols align with the Higher Education Code of Governance. Supporting the Board are the Academic Board, Students Committee, and Finance Committee, which assist in carrying out its responsibilities. Additionally, the Academic Board is supported by the Admissions Subcommittee and Disciplinary Subcommittee. As a subcommittee of the Board of Governance, the Finance Committee reviews all facets of the College’s financial management.
The departments within Oxfordian College, along with their respective heads, adhere to the decisions made by each committee.
The membership of the committees is clearly defined, outlining reporting lines and terms of reference for both the committees and their subcommittees. Committee members meet regularly according to the scheduled meetings for each academic year. These committees are responsible for establishing, communicating, and tracking progress against the College’s corporate objectives.
Additionally, the committees oversee the effectiveness of the College’s direction and control. They identify, assess, and manage risks to achieve the College’s objectives while ensuring that the Governing Board and stakeholders are confident in its business control and risk management processes.
