Local Governance

We believe in strong governance. Each school that joins the MAT may either maintain its own Local Governing Board (LGB) or an Advisory Forum may be established.  An Advisory Forum is a group of parents and community members who meet on a regular basis with staff and Trustees to ensure a positive learning environment for our children.

Our governance is led by a number of Trust documents but principally by the Trust’s CL Scheme of Delegation July 2021 and the Trust’s CL Governance Handbook Oct 2021 which includes its Scheme of Governance Management and Delegation.

The Board of Trustees recognises the contribution made by governors and members of Advisory Forums – they appreciate that they are critical to our schools’ success through their scrutiny, monitoring, support and challenge.
