Open & accountable
How the trust is governed
Good governance keeps a trust honest, ambitious and well-run. Ours follows the standard academy-trust model — a clear line of accountability from members, through the board of trustees, to the people leading our schools — with a published scheme of delegation setting out who decides what.
Our structure
Four tiers, one line of accountability
Members
The guardians of the trust. Members appoint trustees and hold the board to account for the trust's constitution and charitable objects.
Board of Trustees
Legally accountable for the trust — its education standards, finances and statutory duties. The board sets strategy and delegates operational leadership to the CEO.
Committees
Two standing committees do detailed scrutiny on the board's behalf: Audit & Risk, and Finance & Resources.
Local Governing Bodies
Each school has its own LGB — local people who know the community and hold their school to account on the ground.
Local Governing Bodies sit at each of our schools: Alresford High School, Alresford Primary School, Alresford Special School.
In the open
Governance you can actually see
We publish the things that matter. Everything below is live in the trust portal.
