Governance within Education Learning Trust
Strong governance is essential to the success of a multi-academy trust, ensuring clear accountability, effective decision-making, and a shared commitment to educational excellence. Different layers of governance — including members, trustees, and academy governors — each play a distinct but connected role in supporting and challenging leaders at every level.
This structure helps maintain strategic oversight across the Trust while ensuring individual schools remain closely connected to their communities. By working together, these layers of governance provide the balance of vision, scrutiny, and local insight needed to help every school and pupil thrive.
