Governance Overview

Our governance structure is built to enable agility, responsiveness, and strong accountability at every level.

It includes:
  • A Trust Board responsible for strategic leadership, compliance and performance.
  • A highly quality Executive Leadership Team charged with operational excellence and delivery of the Trust’s strategic objectives.
  • Local Academy Councils that offer essential insight, challenge, and representation for the educational standards of their schools and communities.

This layered structure ensures strategic alignment while maintaining meaningful local accountability. The Scheme of Delegation clearly defines responsibilities across all levels, supported by our Articles of Association, Funding Agreement and Trust-wide policies.
