In terms of company and charitable law, the Directors of the Northern Schools Trust will be accountable for the business operation of the Trust. While the Trust Board is responsible for the overarching strategic direction and broad policy framework for all academies within the Trust, it is key that leadership, governance and management of individual academies is maintained within the school setting.
The current chair of the Trust is Geoff Wainwright.
