The governance structure of Excel Learning Trust comprises Members, the Trust Board and Local Governing Boards/Academy Committees, all of whom are committed to ensuring educational excellence every day for the children and young people in our schools.
All of the volunteers involved in the governance of our Trust play a vital role and we are extremely grateful to them for providing their time and expertise in order to support our schools and the wider running of the Trust.
Further details are available in our Scheme of Delegation which is available here.
