Board of Trustees

Trustees have three core functions of governance:-

• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
• Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the Trust and its pupils, and the performance management of its staff
• Overseeing the financial performance of the Trust and ensuring best value at all times

Trustees meet at least once a term. Please click the arrow to view the trustee’s credentials.
