Academy Governing Bodies
In contrast to some Trusts, Wellspring believes in strong local governance. We believe that autonomy powers excellence.
Academies have their own Governing Bodies. Through the agreed Scheme of Delegation, the Governing Body is empowered to make decisions in the best interests of the children and the community it serves.
What is the difference?
We will provide:
Wellspring Academy Trust is committed to effective and autonomous local governance.
We can make a difference together.
