The governance structure of the Trust is set out in DCAT’s Scheme of Delegation which can be found here.
A Transition Board is a model DCAT uses when schools are joining the Trust and/or where rapid improvement work is required. The benefits are the expertise of the group and their experience. This group provides clarity, pace and a strong foundation to move forward from. The long term plan is to move the governance arrangements to a Local Governing Body.
The membership details can be downloaded below. If you wish to contact the Transition Board or the Chair, Jenny Barnard-Langston, please email Annie Park, Clerk to the Board apark@dcat.academy
