The Board of Trustees is the body that oversees the running of Wade Deacon Trust, they meet at least once each term and are supported by a committee structure and a central operations team to fulfil their role. The trustees are responsible for the same three core governance functions performed by the governing body in a maintained school across all schools within the Trust: setting the direction, holding the principal/headteacher to account and ensuring financial probity. As charity trustees, they must also ensure that they are complying with charity law requirements.
