Wade Deacon Trust is a Multi-Academy Trust and an approved DfE Academy sponsor. The Trust is focused upon improving life chances for students and communities providing sustainable school improvement; and schools joining the Trust do so with the prime aim of improving each other so that they can all become outstanding schools.

The members are akin to the shareholders of a company. They have ultimate control over the academy trust, with the ability to appoint some of the trustees and the right to amend the trust’s articles of association.

The Board of Trustees is the body that oversees the running of Wade Deacon Trust, they meet at least twice each term and are supported in its work by the Company Secretary.  The trustees are responsible for the same three core governance functions performed by the governing body in a maintained school: 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.
