Test - LET Education Trust

Members

Members have an overarching responsibility for the viability and performance of the Education Trust through the appointment of some Trustees, receiving of the annual accounts and appointing auditors. They have the power to amend the Articles of Association that govern the way the Trust is constituted and managed. Currently there are 5 Members of the Trust.

Trustees

Trustees are responsible for the strategic direction, broad policy framework and oversight of the Trust and all its academies. They take decisions that are in the best interests of the MAT as a whole and are not representative of any one of the constituent academies. The Trustees are also Directors of the Trust which is a company limited by guarantee and registered as such at Companies House. Currently there are 7 Trustees.

Trust Finance, Audit and Risk Committee including Personnel and Premises

The Trust Resources Committee oversees the effective and efficient deployment and management of resources and staffing across the MAT to ensure:

Consistent policies and systems across the Trust’s academies;
Efficiency savings;
Opportunities, through financial economies of scale, to develop key expertise in specialist areas;
The deployment of resources monitored to maximise impact on standards;
Local Governing Boards are free to focus on standards.

Local Advisory Boards

The primary function of the Local Governing Boards, regardless of the category allocation, is to support and critically appraise the quality of the work of the Academy leadership in meeting the overall aims of the MAT, particularly in ensuring that the students and staff in the MAT are given every opportunity to thrive and achieve their best.

Local Governing Boards are sub-committees of the Trust Board. The Board should support and strengthen the Academy’s leadership and, by working with the CEO and other Executive Leaders, hold them accountable for the performance of students and staff. The parent body is represented by the election of two Parent Governors on each LGB, dependant on the skills identified through audit. Staff Governors are also elected to the LGB.

The Chairs of our Local Advisory Boards are:

The Hollins – Javed Younis
Rhyddings – Adrian Nicholls
West End – Nadia Hargreaves
Huncoat – Andy Hill
