Governance
Gildredge House opened in 2013 and is non-profit making and state-funded. As a Free School, we are aspirational in setting high standards and have specific freedoms, for example, over the curriculum, school day and terms, staffing and budget. However, the school will still be subject to the same Ofsted inspections as all maintained state schools.
