Board of Trustees

Trustees have three core functions of governance:-

• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
• Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the Trust and its pupils, and the performance management of its staff
• Overseeing the financial performance of the Trust and ensuring best value at all times
• Trustees meet at least once a term.

The Board of Trustees disbanded the Local Governing Body at Cherry Tree Academy in 2019 in favour of an advisory forum.
