• Governance & Scheme of Delegation

Governance is an integral part of the leadership and management of our academies. Good governance has a huge impact on our staff and students and overall this leads to good and outstanding outcomes. We work together with our academies providing specific and targeted support to our Local Governing Body to help them achieve outstanding governance, for example we provide:

• Extensive guidance for Governors on their role, including high quality online training, bespoke training and a Governors’ Handbook for reference
• An online Governors’ Portal providing access to all relevant minutes and documents
• A regular review of Governor’s contribution to each academy’s progress
• Access to legal advice on all governance issues
• Access to further support via The Key for Governors and the NGA

Our approach to governance was approved by the Academy Trust Board in November 2018. Our governance practice for the academy trust as a whole is still in its infancy as we focus on what sits within the academy trust and those that are better placed under the individual academies.  We will be working with all our people and stakeholders as we move forward.

The Scheme of Delegation agreed by our Trustees provides the structure under which this Trust operates. This is  set out to refine our governance operations and drive our practice forward in pursuit of our ambition to be recognised for both excellence and innovation in this specialist field of education.
