Notes on attendance at meetings
Number of meetings which trustees could attend will be lower for those trustees whose terms of office ended during the year.
Committee meetings were not held during Advent Term due to transitional governance arrangements being in place following dissolution of DALP – Academy Committee fulfilled much of that role during this period - and were suspended following outbreak of Coronavirus. Business was transacted through the NCEAT Board during this period.
Mrs Hopkin and Mrs Johnson were both on maternity leave during the year and this impacted on the number of meetings they were able to attend.

Y9 geographers learned how a river changes from source to mouth. They used ArcGIS state of the art mapping software to investigate the river Trent. They mapped it out, measured the height above sea level & distance from source to contextualise knowledge. #wisdom #achievement https://t.co/ih0umvPtXg
