Hoyland Common Primary is part of HCAT. Governance is provided by the Trust’s Board of Trustees who retain overall responsibility for the strategic direction, educational standards, financial performance, risk management and statutory compliance of all Trust schools. The Board of Trustees are supported by a number of sub committees including Associate Trustees.

Associate Trustees provide local oversight through regular meetings, monitoring visits and engagement with school leaders. They are responsible for the monitoring and review of the following areas:

– Educational performance and school improvement priorities
– Safeguarding
– SEND and Inclusion
– Stakeholder feedback

Their work is to ensure that local intelligence, strengths and areas for development from each school are reported through the Trust’s governance structure and inform Trust-wide decision making. Associate Trustees act in an advisory capacity and support continuous improvement across the Trust.
