The Scheme of Delegation is the touchstone of governance within our Trust.
To ensure that roles and responsibilities are clear, we have set out the key aspects of governance and identified where action, consultation or decision making rests.
We also have a number of committees to support the Trust Board:
- Finance
- Audit
- Educational Performance
In addition, we consider our Local Governing Bodies (LGBs) a vital part of governance within the Trust. All of our schools have a LGB and they act in the form of committees of the Trust Board, as set out within the Governance Handbook.
