Governance
TKAT is a multi-academy trust which was established on 1st September 2010. Its constitution is set out in the Articles of Association and this is shared with individual academies via the Scheme of Delegation. TKAT have, through the Scheme of Delegation, established Local Governing Bodies for each of the Academies.
The Members protect our Charitable and Educational objectives, including the ethos of the Trust. They appoint the Trustees to the TKAT Board, and hold annual and extraordinary general meetings.
The TKAT Members are: Raymond Vooght, Matthew Wilson and The Diocese of Canterbury Academies Company Limited, represented by Quentin Roper.
For further details including Declarations of Business Interests, please select the sections below for Trustees and Members.
The legal powers and responsibilities of the Trust are held with the TKAT Board Trustees, who are accountable to the Department for Education.
We have a strong Board, with a healthy balance of corporate and educational professionals, who are each able to bring different perspectives and ideas to the table. As a group, the Board sets the overall strategic direction of the Trust.
They scrutinise, challenge and support our educational and operational performance data, stability and emerging risks and opportunities. The Board delegates certain powers and duties to our Local Governing Bodies.

Our Local Governing Bodies know their schools well and provide Trustees with an independent local voice. They combine a passion to make a difference, with common sense, and a unique perspective. This means their challenge and support compliments how the Board holds schools to account. They have the flexibility to structure and organise themselves in ways that best benefit their community and stakeholders.
The TKAT Board has delegated 4 key responsibilities to Local Governing Bodies:
- Represent the Academy’s local community and stakeholders by ensuring that the Academy’s policies and practice meet the community’s needs. This includes ensuring appropriate and effective parent engagement and communication.
- Ensure that the Academy’s long term vision reflects the needs of its community beyond current postholders and is in line with TKAT’s vision and values.
- Support Directors of Education to improve Academy outcomes.
- Support the school’s Senior Leadership Team to ensure staffing is efficient and effective.
The Local Governing Body of each of the Academies is responsible for fulfilling the strategic and operational governance role in the conduct of the Academy.
