All Saints Interchurch Academy
Governance
All Saints Inter-Church Primary School is a Single Academy Trust.
Trusts are founded by members and run by trustees. They have a general duty to exercise their powers to further the trust’s charitable object. Trusts with a religious character are founded by the appropriate religious body or bodies and their objects will be set out in the articles of association of the trust. Members of a church academy trust must also ensure that the religious character of the church academy is preserved and developed as part of ensuring the charitable objects of the academy trust deed are met.
In trusts, the purpose of governance is to provide:
- strategic leadership
- accountability and assurance
- strategic engagement
The board has collective accountability and strategic responsibility for the trust. It has a focus on ensuring the trust delivers an excellent education to pupils while maintaining effective financial management and must ensure compliance with:
- the trust’s charitable objects
- regulatory, contractual and statutory requirements
- their funding agreement
The board also has a strategic and statutory responsibility for safeguarding and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) ensuring the promotion of pupil welfare and for keeping their estates safe and well-maintained.
The trust board meets at least termly and delegates some of its functions to two sub-committees; Finance, Risk & Audit and Curriculum & Standards. More information about the scope and remit of each sub-committee can be found within the Terms of Reference.
