Statutory Governance
Information
Our Trust operates a robust governance and organisational framework to ensure strategic oversight, accountability, and operational excellence across all schools. Governance is led by the Trust Board, supported by committees focused on education, personnel, finance & estates, and audit & risk. Local School Committees provide school-level insight and challenge.
Governance Structure
Areté Learning Trust Governance Structure establishes clear lines of accountability, overview and scrutiny at three levels:
- Trust Members
- Board of Trustees and Committees
- School Committees
This structure has been established to support the core functions of governance:
- 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 and ensuring effective financial performance
Trustees and Members can be contacted via the Trust Governance Manager by emailing pwhite@arete.uk
