Governance

At Embrace Multi Academy Trust, governance is led by its board of trustees and delegated responsibilities are carried out by the local governing committees of each school in the trust.

The chairs of governors group meets on a termly basis, which provides an opportunity for communication and collaboration between trustees, the trust leader and local governors.
