The Trustees
There are currently 9 Trustees who are representative of the communities which our schools serve. Our trustees bring a wealth of experience to the role, with their skills sets matched to the needs of the Trust. Members oversee and ratify the appointment of candidates to the Trust Board, who in turn oversee the appointment of governors working at a local level within each school.
The Trustees take strategic decisions to improve performance across all Trust schools.
The Trustees meet formally once a term and receive reports from the committees (see below) and external auditors.
Committees of the Trust Board
Finance, Audit and Risk - The Finance, Audit & Risk Committee monitors the management accounts supplied by the Local Governing Body of each school and ensures its compliance with internal auditing requirements. They ensure that value for money is achieved and report directly to the Board of Trustees.
Pay and Remuneration - The Pay and Remuneration Committee will consider pay recommendations from Local Governing Boards and the Headteacher Appraisal Review Committee following the completion of each appraisal cycle.
Appraisal Review - The Appraisal Review Committee will meet to set targets and review the performance of school leaders. The committee will consist of representatives from the Board of Trustees, Local Governors, the Trust CEO and an external specialist.
Curriculum and Standards - The Curriculum and Standards Committee meets regularly to review progress towards key school improvement objectives in each of the Trust schools.
