GOVERNANCE

Our members, directors and governors all work to ensure that the vision of our Trust and school is the lived reality and that the aims of the Trust and school 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 and school.

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. 

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." Anne Frank
