Following the transfer of the academy to the Mulberry Schools Trust on the 1st May 2023, a new Local Governing Body (LGB) was constituted.
The LGB is responsible for the oversight of Mulberry Academy Woodside and for the implementation of the Trust’s policies and strategy. The LGB is chaired by a trustee so that information flows consistently between the Board and the LGB.
