Governance

Welcome to our Governor information page. Here you will find out information about the roles of the Governors and who’s who.

St Andrew’s is now a member of the Mid-Trent Multi Academy Trust. This means there is a board of Trustees governing the schools in the Mid-Trent Multi Academy Trust. Many duties of the Trust have been delegated to each Trust school. Therefore, most of the governance is carried out by a Local Governing Body.
