Trust governance
The purpose of governance is to provide confident, strategic leadership and to create robust accountability, oversight and assurance for educational and financial performance.
Our board has three core functions:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff (this is enacted through our Standards & Effectiveness Group)
- Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent (this is enacted through our Resources Committee)
Further information about our Governance Community is available on Get Information About Schools >
