Local Governors

BASE Academy Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees who are accountable to the Department for Education and have overall responsibility and ultimate decision making authority for all the work of the Trust, including the establishing and running of the academies operated by the Trust.

In order to assist with the discharge of their responsibilities, the trust has established a Local Governing Board (‘LGB’) for each of the Academies. The LGB shall be a committee established pursuant to Articles 100 to 104 (inclusive) of the Articles of Association of the Trust (the ‘Articles’).

The Trustees may review these terms of reference at any time but shall review them at least annually.

These terms of reference may only be amended by the Board of Trustees.
