The trust has three members, and is governed by a group of eight trustees. A summary of the skills and experience that our members and trustees bring to their roles is provided in the document to download on this page. The document also contains photographs of the trustees and members, in oder to ensure that members of our school community and other interested stakeholders can easily identify those tasked with governance of the trust. The Chair and the trustees can all be contacted via the Selwyn Primary School Office.
Details of how our trust is governed, as well as the scheme of delegation (that describes how the trust, the Local Governing Committee and the Executive Head teacher work together to consult, review, approve, recommend, and action the work of the trust and of Portway Primary School) are all provided on the trust documentation page of the Leading Learning Trust website. The trust has two committees: the FARM (Finance, Audit and Risk Management Committee) and the Pay Review Committee (further detail is again available on the trust documentation page).
