The constitution lays down the number of elected directors (nine) and defines their powers. BISS parents choose directors for their range of skills and experience that will help support the School. Board members bring helpful and wide-ranging knowledge as a consequence of their particular background. For example, the Chairman of the Board, Yasser Hashem, is also legal counsel to the British Ambassador to Egypt. All directors are deeply committed to the continued success of the school. Board members undergo governance training and receive safeguarding training in accordance with regulatory requirements.
