Governance

There are three tiers of governance within the Trust. These are: Members, Trustees and the Local Governing Boards. On this page you will find information about each of our members and Trustees and links to the information about each Local Governing Board for each of our schools.

The main documents which determine how we operate are our Articles of Association, which set our internal structure. We also have a Scheme of Delegation which outlines the responsibilities of the different levels of governance and leadership. PDF's of these documents can be found at the bottom of this page and please view our Financial Information page for finance, accounts and funding information.
