Structure
Scheme of Delegation
Academy Committee Membership
The Trustees have established Academy Committees to carry out some of its school level governance functions, although as Trustees are not required to sit on Academy Committees, decision making is limited. The Trustees confirm Chair/Vice Chair appointments, and ensure that up to three parents are elected to the Academy Committee. The Head of School also sits on their Academy Committee along with a staff governor.
An established Academy Committee will take responsibility for the governance of a new free school during its opening year so that a representative group of members can be recruited and onboarded prior to the school’s own Academy Committee being created. Delegated functions can be removed from ACs by the Trust Board.
