designed to achieve the following:
1 Greater focus on value-add work: More time for education/pastoral matters more efficient annual reporting: Charity Commission Companies House audits and fewer but higher quality meetings 2 Higher governance quality: More focus on future looking strategy management of potential conflicts of interest for trustees across separate charities more training and the the right right people in in in the the right right places with clear remits Trustee cross-over through sub-committees and boards also means a a a a a wider perspective 3 Agility of decision making: Consistent and coherent purpose goals and strategy across the schools Alignment of top-down governance and bottom-up operations Fewer more focused and engaged people to align meaning we can move faster Avoidance of competing discussions between committees and/
or entities This has led to a a a redesign of the Corporation’s Committees and and Boards and and from November 2022 The Downs Malvern fully merged into the Corporation of Malvern College 8
