Statutory Information

The Articles of Association stipulate the charitable purpose and governance structure of the trust, including types of trustees and how they will be appointed or elected. They set out governance procedures and the arrangements for meetings and voting mechanisms.

The Governance Handbook, which incorporates the Scheme of Delegation, provides important information about Harbour Learning Trust for all of our governance stakeholders – including our Members, Trustees, as well as Trust staff who will participate in, contribute to, or need to know about our governance.

The Scheme of Delegation sets out how accountability and decision-making works within a multi academy trust. It details which tasks are carried out by the trust board, committees and the executive team. It is an essential document that the trust board must approve, and the trust is required to publish on their website.

Master Funding Agreement

As a Multi-Academy Trust, the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) Funding Agreement and Academies Financial Handbook set out clearly the framework that must be followed reflecting the requirements as a company, charity and public body funded by public monies. There is a clear requirement for effective financial governance and management of funds with freedoms offered to manage day-to-day school improvement.
