Grove Primary School

As a Trust we recognise that a diversity of thoughts, voices and perspectives is essential to good governance and the effective running of any organisation. We regularly collect diversity information from our governors and, depending on current data, can use this to: 

• target recruitment to address gaps in experience and diversity
• develop and adapt board practices to ensure full participation 
• prioritise training and awareness-raising in identified areas 
• address potential ‘blind spots’ through seeking wider advice and perspectives on current and upcoming opportunities, challenges and risks

 However, we are unable to publish this information as it would mean that individual members of our governing body are identifiable.

There are three tiers of responsibility who lead and manage the Governance of the Trust. Members and Directors have responsibility for Trust matters, while each school within the Trust is led by its own Local Academy Committee.
