The Headteacher is ultimately responsible for all matters concerned with Olchfa and is responsible to the governing body.

With them, he determines the school's direction, sets tone, priorities and standards, appoints staff, is the final arbiter in all matters of discipline, and is the school's figurehead for parents, staff and pupils amongst others. He is assisted by the Senior Leadership Team.

The Senior Leadership Team is made up of the Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher (who deputises for the Headteacher when required), a Business & Finance Director, four Senior Assistant Headteachers and three Assistant Headteachers
