Our governance structure is built on a foundation of collaboration, clarity, and commitment, encompassing Members, Trustees and Local Academy Councils (LACs). This structure ensures that each academy within our trust thrives while aligning with the overarching goals of the Trust.
Our Members play a pivotal role in safeguarding the overall viability and performance of the Trust.They appoint some of our Trustees, oversee financial accounts, and have the authority to amend Articles of Association, which govern how we operate. Currently, we are guided by three dedicated members.
Our Trustees are the strategic stewards of the Trust. They provide a broad policy framework and make decisions that prioritize the best interests of the entire Trust rather than individual academies. Trustees also serve as directors, ensuring compliance with company regulations and fostering a vision of excellence across all our academies.
At the heart of each academy are our Local Academy Councils, sub-committees of the Trust Board. These councils are instrumental in supporting and challenging academy leadership to deliver on the Trust's mission: ensuring that students and staff excel. With representation from parents and staff, LACs provide a valuable link between the local school communities and the Trust's strategic oversight.
Together, these layers of governance create a strong, accountable system that enables every school within our Trust to flourish.
