Governance in the CLF
Strong governance plays an important part in our organisation. Our trustees and governors have a key role in leading, supporting and improving our academies and the CLF as a whole. We have over 200 volunteers who share our values and support our efforts to make our ambitious goals a reality.
We have two sponsors: Rolls-Royce PLC and the University of the West of England (UWE). We are delighted to be able to work closely with these two internationally recognised organisations who have both been a part of the CLF from the start. Rolls-Royce PLC’s has a global reputation and practices within the world of engineering in Bristol, the UK and across the world. UWE is one of the most successful higher education institutions in the country; providing progression for our students once they have completed their education with us.
