They are also responsible for ensuring compliance with charity and company law and the academy trust’s funding agreement. They are accountable to the members of the trust and the secretary of state.

Trustees can delegate certain powers and duties to Local Governing Bodies (LGBs) – Full explanation is contained in our scheme of delegation.
