Governance of the Trust

To maintain the local distinctiveness of each of the Trust’s schools, the Board of Directors has established Primary and Secondary Performance Boards. The Secondary Performance Board incorporates two parent representatives from the College as well as directors and senior staff.
The group meets termly and reports to the Board of Directors.

What is the commitment for Parent Representatives
The SPB meets three times a year for approximately one hour during the day. They would also be expected to undergo a college visit every term.
How are the meetings organised
The Chair of the SPB is a Trust Director and chairs the meetings.
The three meeting dates and times will be scheduled annually by the Board of Directors, appreciating that there may be a need to reorganise meetings from time-to time.
