Governance

We pride ourselves on good governance to ensure accountability and visibility at all levels.

Our Trust Board oversees the governance of the Trust and academies as a whole.  Trustees are responsible for the strategic leadership of the Trust, ensuring it adheres to the agreed vision and aims as well as being accountable for educational standards and financial health.  MLP’s team of Trustees possess combined skills which offer a wealth of experience to support the Trust in its activities.  The Trust Board delegates responsibility for certain functions to a range of specialist Committees as detailed in the diagram below.

Each academy in the Magna Learning Partnership has an Academy Governance Committee (AGC) which provides focussed governance at a local level.  Membership of each AGC includes two elected parents, the Academy Leader, together with community and, where applicable, foundation representation.  AGCs are Committees of the MLP Trust Board.
