How our Trust is organised

As a Multi-Academy Trust, Synergy receives its funding directly from the Department for Education.

All of this income is spent on the Trust’s schools to provide the highest possible quality of education.

The Members of Synergy Trust are accountable to the DfE for the standards in each of the partner schools. They appoint directors, sign off financial statements and can change the Trust’s articles of association.

In turn, the Members appoint a Board of Directors to ensure the effective running of the Trust and the provision of high quality education in all partner schools. The Directors also oversee the management of finances and property, and ensure compliance with charity and company law.

Each partner school has a Local Governing Board that is made up of parents, members of staff and appointed community members. The Local Governing Board’s key task is to ensure that the school leadership team is working effectively to improve the quality of teaching and learning within the institution.
