An Academy Trust is a charitable company which is ‘limited by guarantee’, meaning that it is subject to both company and charity law – and it is the body that receives funding from central Government and will hold your Academy’s assets.

The day-to-day management of the Academy resides with a board of directors or trustees which is typically referred to as the Governing Body – as is responsible for all aspects of the running of your Academy, including Teaching and Learning, finance, operations and HR, as well as control of land and other assets.
