Local Governance
The Kemnal Academies Trust is a multi-academy trust with 45 special, primary, secondary and all through academies.
The Kemnal Board of Trustees ensure their accountability for the provision, standards and outcomes in every academy via the senior executive team and the Directors of Education.
Our Directors of Education play the lead role in supporting, challenging and holding to account our Headteachers and their school teams.
The Kemnal Board has established local governing bodies to help Directors of Education in their role, to support their local school and local community, and to provide local knowledge and insight.
