Governance

The key pillars of governance in the Kingfisher Schools Trust, are as follows:

• The seven Nolan Principles of Public Life
• Strong financial governance, ensuring good value for money and accountability across the trust
• Clearly defined roles and responsibilities between the three tiers of governance – i.e. members, the trust board and the academy councils
• Ensuring that all the schools in the trust are rooted in the communities they serve and ensuring the academy council is championing the stakeholders in those communities
• Linking governance within the trust into the school improvement cycle and the relentless focus across the trust on improving the outcomes of pupils
• Strong central governance support, promoting strong governance through co-ordinated training, governance tools and expert clerking, guidance and advice.
