Members
The Members of a trust are not involved in the practical running of the organisation and do not take part in governing body or Board meetings, except as occasional observers. Their role is to ensure that the Board keeps its core priorities at the centre of its work – providing education for children and young people – and retains its stated ethos and values.
Members appoint some of the trustees and, in exceptional circumstances, can remove trustees who they have appointed.
The Board meets at least 8 times per year with 3 meetings focusing on Finance and Operations and 5 on Teaching and Learning. All trustees attend all of these meetings.
In addition there are 4 committees:
