Scheme of Delegation

The Scheme of Delegation outlines how we govern effectively at Rainham Mark Education Trust. 

Board Purpose

The Academy Trust Board provides:

  • Strategic Leadership of the Academy Trust

The Board defines the Trust vision for high quality and inclusive education in line with its charitable objects.  It establishes and fosters the Trust's culture and sets and champions the Trust strategy including determining what, if any, governance functions are delegated to the local tier.

  • Accountability and Assurance

The Board has robust effective oversight of the operations and performance of the Academy Trust, including the provision of education, pupil welfare, overseeing and ensuring appropriate use of funding and effective financial performance and keeping their estate safe and well maintained.

  • Engagement

The Board has strategic oversight of relationships with stakeholders.  The Board involves parents, schools and communities so that decision-making is supported by meaningful engagement.
