to find fulfilment as they grow towards adulthood. Where there are non-Church of England schools within the trust, their non-designated status should be respected. Foundation Directors should support Foundation Local Governors to become an active Christian presence in their academies, and to become a vital link with the parish, playing a unique role in strengthening and enriching the dynamic relationship between the academy, Church and the wider community. A Foundation Director will need to be able to understand and articulate the role of the Church in the academy trust, and the importance of the distinctively Christian character of the Church of England academies within it; foster and grow those key relationships between and within the Church and the academies in partnership with Foundation Local Governors; encourage and focus debate in key areas (including Christian vision and values, Collective Worship and Religious Education); and secure that the Church of England academies within the trust thrive as Church of England academies.
