Trustees

The Trust Board meet three times during the year.

 

They are responsible for:

  • The strategic management of the Trust, compliance with its articles and statutory requirements,
  • The challenge and direction of the performance and target setting by each Local Governing Body according to the agreed scheme of delegation,
  • Meeting the required outcomes of stakeholders across the academies.

 

The Trust will have two subcommittees: Finance and Premises Committee which includes the Audit Committee function, and Personnel Committee including Pay and Reward Committee function plus Well-being. 

 

Each Academy in the Trust has a Local Governing Body and an agreed scheme of delegation. There are differences in the degree of delegation between the Trust and each LGB due to the needs of the school and their Ofsted grading.   Parents will be represented on each Local Governing Body.
