Board of Trustees


The Trust board has full responsibility and control of the Multi-Academy Trust as constituted by its Articles of Association.  In short, all governance flows from the Trust board and serves as the ultimate decision-making authority on all matters. The Trust board is responsible for ensuring that high standards of corporate governance are maintained. It will exercise its powers and functions with a view to fulfilling a largely strategic role in the running of its academies.

The board has currently delegated powers and appointed Trustees to the following sub-committees:

  • Audit & Risk Committee
  • Standards Committee
  • Resources Committee

Trustees attendance records at board and sub-committee meetings over the last academic year are available in our annual accounts.
