Governance and the Local Governing Body
For information about governance in the South York Multi-Academy Trust, including information about the Trustees and Members of the board, please see the MAT website.
We are committed to local governing bodies in our schools
having delegated responsibility as far as possible,
consistent with good governance and prudent use of resources.
Schools will still need committed, skilled and enthusiastic governors!
