JOIN US THE SCHOOLS MENU HOMEGOVERNANCE Board Of Directors' Role The Role of Foundation Trustees / Foundation Board. Foundation Trustees sit together as the Foundation Board which has responsibility for protecting the interests and assets of each Foundation school, as well as for ensuring that the ethos and values of the Foundation are maintained. Foundation Board is responsible for the group strategy, management and governance of the Foundation together with the financial and educational performance of the schools. Foundation Board are the legal governors and are accountable for all statutory functions. Many of these functions are discharged on behalf of the Foundation Board by the Executive Team. At local level, trustees delegate governance functions to a LGB at each school. Trustees have complete discretion over what is delegated to each LGB. They may, for example, decide to delegate all functions to academies in the chain that are performing well and only a few to those academies that need greater support. It is important to note that local governors are not trustees of a school, unless they also sit on the Foundation Board. The Board of Directors details can be found under About Us - Who are we?
