My EN Courses 2022/23 Applicants Students & Parents Employers Working At East Norfolk Governance Home Governance The College sits within East Norfolk Multi Academy Trust (ENMAT), a company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales in 2018 (company no. 11200244). ENMAT’s governance is overseen by Trustees. Trustees have a broad range of collective experience and represent a variety of cultural backgrounds. Currently our Board has representatives from business, social work, finance, law, education and accountancy. The Department for Education has enabled EN’s Board to have up to 12 (Member appointed) Trustees. Additionally, the Board also has a number of Committees which help it fulfil its full range of duties. Most commonly, Trustees also serve on a Committee, but this is not always the case. Also, it is possible to serve on a Committee, but not be a Trustee; such appointments are known as Local Governors. Some are elected by the College’s staff or parents so that the governance structure can benefit from the widest possible viewpoint from its community and stakeholders. Supporting EN The Trust’s main governing body is known as the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees (or ‘Board’) is made up of volunteer members drawn from the local community, who bring their expertise, energy and commitment to support the Trust in making the right decisions and improving opportunities and outcomes for young people in Norfolk and beyond. Trustees come from a diverse range of backgrounds. Currently our Board has representatives from business, social work, financial and legal practice, education and accountancy. The Board works with the Principal and Executive Group to set the strategic direction and values which will drive the Trust towards fulfilment of its mission. The Board sets objectives and monitors results, supporting the College, as an institution within the Trust, to provide the best learning experience possible for the young people in our community. The Trust Board have three core functions. 1. Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction, 2. Holding the executive leader to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its students, and the performance management of staff. 3. Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure public money is appropriately spent, achieving value for money. If you have any questions regarding the work of the Board of Trustees please contact Joanne McDonnell, Clerk to the Trustees, on 01493 662234 or e-mail.
