The Department for Education published five pillars of quality for multi academy trusts.
The five pillars are:
- High-Quality and Inclusive Education
- School Improvement
- Workforce
- Finance and Operations
- Governance and Leadership
Primary responsibility for these functions is held by the Trust Board of Trustees, but it delegates responsibilities to the committees of the Trust Board, including the Local Governing Body (LGB) of each academy, and roles within the Trust Central Team via the Scheme of Delegation.
Meet our Chair of Governors
Mr Bruce Gordon
I am an experienced school governor and spent ten years supporting the primary school my children attended. I now work for the Diocese of Norwich Education Support Company as a Governance Improvement Officer, working with schools and headteachers to support the operation of local governance in schools. I am currently supporting nine local governing bodies across the Diocesan Trusts in Norfolk (and this one in Suffolk!). In my previous working life, I spent over thirty years working on and supporting, the restoration of vintage aircraft. I am married with three children and am also a trustee with the Evolution Academy Trust.
How can I contact the Chair of Governors?
Our Chair of Governors, Mr Bruce Gordon, can be contacted through any of the academy offices.
