Organisational Management and Assurance

Expert Governance 

Strategic governance is one of the defining characteristics of School Trusts. By operating under a single governance structure, a strong board of trustees can effectively oversee the strategic direction of the groups of schools in the trust and hold executive leaders to account for the outcomes of all pupils. Strong governance of the legal entity of the Trust hardwires collaboration and shared accountability in a way that no other school structure does. Trust boards carry the accountability along with the powers of intervention where necessary at a governance level of its schools. This is one of the reasons why the Trust is the most appropriate vehicle to drive school improvement.

This area of school improvement looks to ensure that information provided to the board of trustees has been tested and is accurate. This team will  also organise trust wide initiatives to minimise administrative impact of schools.
