Governance

Local Governors play an important role in our trust.

We have a Local Governing Team Forum who meet each term led by our chair of trustees, David King.

Communication is very important and at each meeting of Local Governors there is a standard item to report things discussed that are important for the trust to know and at each board meeting there is also a standing item on the agenda for anything important to report back. 

Our latest governance structure can be accessed below:
