Governance

Maltby Learning Trust is committed to delivering the very best educational experience for all children and young people in Rotherham.

Our Trust operates as a single trust multi-academy sponsor which is governed by a board of trustees. The board of trustees works with each of the local governance committees to recruit governors in each of its academies, usually drawn from the local community.

There are three core functions of governance within Maltby Learning Trust:

ONE: Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction

TWO: Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its students and the effective and efficient performance management of staff

THREE: Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent. 

The MLT delegates extensive powers to local governance committees.

Each Governance committee has responsibility for providing high quality provision within the set budget and is expected to challenge and monitor the performance of its academy, securing excellent educational provision and outcomes for all children and young people.
