Scheme of Delegation
As a Multi Academy Trust (MAT), the Trust Board of Authentic Education is legally accountable for all statutory functions and major decisions concerning all the academies and subsidiary companies within the Trust.
The principle governing document in trusts is the Articles of Association. The Articles set out the charitable purpose of the Trust, providing a framework for trusts to act within both company and charity law.
The Articles do not, however, include the specific detail of the Trust’s chosen governance structure and how governance functions have been delegated.
The Scheme of Delegation explicitly establishes who carries out which governance function.
