Trustees

The trustees are responsible for the same three core governance functions performed by the governing body in a maintained school: strategic leadership, accountability and assurance and engagement. 

Local governors

Individuals who sit on local Academy Scrutiny Committees (ASCs) are referred to as ‘local governors’. This is because trustees can delegate governance functions to the local level. Trustees have complete discretion over what is delegated to each Academy Scrutiny Committee.
