Home > Governance and Scheme of Delegation

The Generations Multi Academy Trust is a company limited by guarantee and a charitable trust. Responsibility for the academies that make up the Trust and for the funds granted by Parliament for providing education in those academies is entrusted to the Board of Trustees.

These Trustees are also the Directors of the company. Much of the work of the Board is delegated to committees; in particular there is a separate committee for each of the academies which works as a Local Academy Board (LAB).

The other Board sub-committees are:

• Estates Committee
• MAT Improvement Committee
• People Committee
• Resources Committee
• Search Committee

Local Academy Boards debate key matters at school level and pass their recommendations up to the Board, via each committee, for discussion and ratification.

The Trust provides strategic oversight of financial control and strategy through the Chief Financial Officer, the Resources and the main Trust Board. The Trust’s finances are externally audited on an annual basis.

Trustees

The role of the Trustees is to provide a strategic view of all academies in the Trust, to ensure accountability and to be a critical friend. The Trustees are responsible for the overall direction of the Trust. Trustees also set and monitor targets, the Trust and school budgets, and the effectiveness of policies, to ensure all students have a broad and balanced curriculum.

The Board of Trustees is not responsible for day to day matters within school, which are the responsibility of the Principal.

The Chair of the Trustees is Andrew Clarke and can be contacted via:

The structure and roles for 2024-25 will be confirmed at the Board of Trustees meeting on Thursday 5th September 2024

The agenda and minutes for each Board of Trustees and Sub-Committee meeting will be available to the public, on request, once approved by the Chair. Until formal approval (with appropriate amendments, if any) at the next meeting, any minutes provided must be understood as being subject to amendment. Copy minutes made available to a member of the public will usually have redacted any information relating to individual employees (including teachers), prospective employees, students and prospective students. This will include any information from which the Trust believes that the individual could be identified. All other confidential information will also be redacted. What might amount to confidential information will be dependent upon the state of affairs at the time of the request and consideration of issues relating to confidentiality can be time consuming. Therefore, if a member of the public wishes to see only those parts of the minutes which relate to a particular topic, it would be helpful for this to be stated in the request.
