Local Governance

The Raleigh Education Trust was established in April 2017.

The legal accountable body for the Raleigh Education Trust is the Board of Trustees. They are responsible to the Secretary of State for Education for the effectiveness of each of the trust schools.

The Trust Board publishes guidance in September each year that sets out the full remit for each committee and the role of the executive, plus a detailed timetable for all committees and reports.

The Trust delegates certain responsibilities and powers to Trust Board Committees and to our local Governing Bodies under the Scheme of Delegation.

Local Governing Bodies monitor, evaluate and report on:

  • Curriculum Matters
  • Pupil Achievement
  • Wider Outcomes
  • School-specific policies and procedure

This approach enables schools to still belong to their communities and for governors to be significant and valued partners in the life of their academies.
