Appointment of Governors

Governors join our MAT schools through a variety of mechanisms, these include for example, being co-opted or, being elected. Schools then pass this initial recommendation to the Trust Board. It is the duty of the Trust Board to formally agree this selection and to formally appoint all governors.
