OPERATING THE TRUST

 

Our Trust is managed by our board of Trustees, overseen by our Members and managed day-to-day by our Senior Leadership Team. Our Local Governing Committees in each school support and challenge our Senior Leaders, holding them to account and acting hands on.

We are all united and energised by our mission to Transform Lives Through Learning.

Members

Our Members are responsible for the general control and management of the administration of the Trust in accordance with the principles set out in our Articles of Assosiation and Memorandum of Assosiation. We are  lucky to have long-standing relationships with our Members, who include the CEO of our sponsor, Activate Learning.

trustees

Our Board of Trustees are responsible for the performance of all schools in our Trust. They ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction, hold the CEO and Senior Leadership Team to account for the performance of the schools and all our staff, and ensure that our financial responsiblities are appropriately met.

local governing committees

We are lucky to have space for over 60 governors to volunteer their time and professional expertise in our schools. Our governors work closely with the management team in each school, bringing the skills and experience from their professional lives and using these for the benefit of all our students. They come from a variety of personal and professional backgrounds, both within and outside of education, and tell us they take great benefits from their work with us back into their day jobs.

You can find out more about our local governing committees on each of our school pages, but if you’d like to get involved in school governance, click below to learn more.

senior leadership team

Our Senior Leadership Team consists of a CEO, Director of Education and four Executive Principals, who are supported by a Head of School in each school.

 In addition, we have a robust Central Team of expertise in Finance, Operations, HR, Leadership Development, Estates, Marketing and Communications. If you’re interested in bringing your school into our Trust, you can learn more about our ethos for working with schools here.
