Within CLT there is a deep belief that strong governance is essential to ensure a strong Trust. The Trustees bring skills, knowledge and experience to their roles. They work closely with the CEO to guarantee the success of the Trust and all its schools.

The governance structure consists of Members, and Trustees of the board and its committees. The committees include the local governing bodies of individual schools.

The work of the board is directed by the Articles of Association, funding agreements, governance handbook and the Academies Financial Handbook.

This work is distilled into the CLT Scheme of Delegation which is reviewed and updated every year.
