Constitution of Cherry Tree Trust Board
Cherry Tree Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees who are accountable to the Department of Education and have overall responsibility and ultimate decision making authority for all the work of the Trust, including the establishing and running of the academies operated by the Trust.
The trustees are a small group of governors (and other specialists) who take on the legal role of coordination of the educational charitable company set up to run the Academy trust. The trustees are responsible for determining the governance of all the schools within the trust, through a written constitution.
If you are interested in finding out more about the role of a Governor or if you have any questions or ideas that you wish to share with the Governing body please contact the school office. Alternatively the following document outlines The knowledge, skills and behaviours needed for effective governance in maintained schools, academies and multi-academy trusts.
