Academy Governing Body

The L.E.A.D. Academy Trust and board of trustees are the proprietors of the trust and help set the overarching vision and strategy for all the L.E.A.D. Academy Trust academies.

Each academy within the trust is governed by the L.E.A.D. Academy Trust board and members.

To help discharge these duties successfully, the Trust Board has delegated some of these responsibilities for governance to executive leaders and local academy governing bodies (AGBs) (see scheme of delegation for more information).

Our governance structure ensures that there are clear lines of accountability, overview, and scrutiny at three levels for each of the academies: These are:

• The L.E.A.D. Academy Trust Members
• L.E.A.D. Academy Trust Board and its associated Committees
• The Academy Governing Bodies (AGBs)

Trustees’ and governors’ main responsibilities are the three core governance functions of:

• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos, and strategic direction.
• Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff.
• Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.
