Our Trustees offer strategic guidance, accountability and expert support to our schools.


The Mulberry Schools Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees and it is this Board who set the vision, values, ethos and work of all schools under its designation. The Board sets the scheme of delegation and appoints all governors, except elected staff and parent governors, on any local governing body that governs each school.
