Governance is a cornerstone of strong and ethical school leadership. Our Members, Trustees, and Local Governors dedicate their time, expertise, and passion to ensuring that every one of our schools is well‑led, ambitious, and relentlessly focused on securing the very best for children and young people.

Across our primary, secondary, special, and alternative provision settings, governance representatives play a vital role in:

• Setting strategic direction
• Providing effective support and challenge to senior leaders
• Ensuring accountability and safeguarding standards
• Championing the needs and aspirations of pupils and communities

Their commitment, as volunteers and as dedicated partners in our work, plays a vital role in shaping the culture, direction, and success of our Trust. Whether supporting school improvement, scrutinising performance, or ensuring public money is used wisely, our governance community brings professionalism, integrity, and heart to everything they do.

As a Trust, we extend our heartfelt thanks to every governance representative. Your contribution strengthens our schools, supports our leaders, and ensures that the children and families we serve remain at the centre of every decision.

Thank you for the vital work you do, today and every day.
