Consultation Feedback Press Release Nov 24_FINAL
I wanted to make everyone aware of a further meeting for Governors and Trust Partners that will occur before the end of November. This will focus specifically on how the capacity of Trust Partners can be utilised within and across a Multi Academy Trust. Those of you who attended the consultation or have had the opportunity to look into the available information will appreciate that the Trust Partner role is not automatically incorporated into the Governance structure of a Multi-Academy Trust so will require further investigation which will be presented at the forthcoming meeting. There was a collective strength of feeling (in the meeting on 4 November) that a formalised role for our Trust partners within the proposed MAT is essential and also that the potential growth across a group of schools is an opportunity that cannot be missed. It was very reassuring to hear the passion for and belief in the importance of this work at NHTS and across the wider community.
The above meeting, whilst outside of the official consultation window, will inform decisions going forward.
