We benefit from the dedication of our Local Governing Boards. Each is led by a Chair and Vice Chair.  There is a Chairs' Forum which meets at least termly and allows members of the Trust Board to meet with Chairs and Vice Chairs to ensure that governance across the Trust is strong.

The Chair of the Local Governing Board, or the LGB as a whole, can be contacted either via the school (contact details are available on the individual school web pages) or via the Clerk at stephen.davies@smartacademies.net
