Academy governance covers how academy trusts run state-funded schools in England outside local authority control. It involves boards of trustees, academy accounts, funding agreements with the Department for Education, and compliance with charity and company law. A solicitor helps draft and amend articles of association and schemes of government, appoint and remove trustees, oversee safeguarding and risk management, respond to audits, and navigate inspection regimes such as Ofsted. They draft governance policies and manage procurement and conflicts of interest frameworks.
