For the purposes of this report, there were nine primary, one junior and twenty-two secondary academies in the financial year 2019-20. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Constitution The Trust is a Charitable Company limited by guarantee with no share capital and an exempt charity. The Charitable Company's memorandum and articles of association are the primary governing documents of the Academy Trust, as incorporated on 19 August 2009, amended on 18 August 2011 and amended again on 17 June 2019. The Directors act as the Trustees for the charitable activities of Outwood Grange Academies Trust Limited and are also Directors of the Charitable Company for the purposes of company law. The Charitable Company is known as Outwood Grange Academies Trust (OGAT).

All Trustees are provided with copies of policies, procedures, minutes, accounts, budgets, plans, the governor handbook and other documents, including the Academies Financial Handbook and governor/director guidance documentation from the DfE/ESFA that they will need to undertake their role as Trustees. Continuous Professional Development is undertaken throughout the year to ensure that Trustees are able to challenge and hold the Executive Board and Executive Team to account. The Board of Trustees have completed their annual skills audit in order to identify any significant skills gaps within the Board. An experienced Clerk has been appointed to support and advise the Board on matters of governance. The role maintains a level of independence from the Executive Team in order to facilitate challenge and continuous improvement from the Board. Organisational Structure The governance structure consists of five levels: the Members, the Board of Trustees, Academy Councils, the Executive and the Senior Leadership Teams within each academy. The aim of the governance structure is to devolve responsibility via the Scheme of Delegation and encourage involvement in decision making at all levels. Terms of Reference for these groups are published alongside the Scheme of Delegation to ensure that at all levels people are clear about their responsibilities. The Members meet at least annually to review the performance of the Trust and ensure that the Trustees are working within the articles of association. The Members review the Board skills audit to address any deficiency in governance. The Trustees, by the use of academic results and budgets, monitor and manage risks and make major decisions about the direction of the Trust, capital expenditure and senior staff appointments. The Trustees are responsible for setting general policy, adopting an annual plan and budget monitoring.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.
