GOVERNANCE
Our members, directors and governors all work to ensure that the vision of our Trust is the lived reality and that the aims of the Trust are met so that all our pupils receive a great education. They have a range of skills and experience that they bring to support the strategic leadership of the Trust.
The Trust employs a governance manager to facilitate, organise and support governance at all levels. This includes clear job descriptions for the various governance roles, an induction programme and ongoing training in the key aspects of school & Trust governance.
