Governance at GLF Schools
The governance structure for the Trust has been developed to support the culture of the Trust and the effective management and oversight of a growing organisation.
The Trust Board is accountable to the Secretary of State for all schools within the MAT and responsible for compliance with government and ESFA requirements, company law and charity law. Whilst the Trust Board will always remain accountable, our governance structure allows for the delegation of decisions to the most appropriate body.
| In order to ensure effective governance of such a large Trust with such a variety of different schools, governance in GLF Schools is designed to be | |
|---|---|
|
Collaborative |
The Trust Board and the School Standards Boards (SSBs) collaborate to ensure effective governance of the whole Trust for the benefit of all pupils in our schools |
|
Connected |
The operation of the Trust Board and SSBs is designed to ensure oversight at the right level, with clear lines of communication and non-duplicative roles. |
|
Customised |
The governance framework of the Trust is customised to suit our needs and ensure maximum impact at each level. |
Appointees at all levels of governance must conduct themselves in line with the vision and values of the Trust, and in accordance with the seven principles of public life.
