Trust Governance
The Full Trust Board meet six times per academic year. They also have specific committees or named trustees' meetings to deal with issues such as finance, audit, education and standards, strategic development, pay, performance & HR.
In addition, the majority of our schools have their own local governing body, accountable to the Trustees, whilst retaining a considerable amount of delegated authority to make decisions affecting the day to day running of their school.
Attendance records of governors at local governing body meetings, their terms of office and Chairs can all be found on individual school websites from the Homepage.
