RTS Trust Board and Members Register of Interests 2024/2025

Trustees have a legal duty to act only in the best interests of the school. In order to identify and potential conflict, trustees are required to declare annually:

• Directorships, partnerships and employments with businesses;
• Trusteeships and governorships at other educational institutions and charities;
• Relevant interests from close family relationships.

In addition to an annual declaration, trustees are required to disclose any personal or business interest in any agenda item at the beginning of every meeting and temporarily leave the meeting whilst that item is being discussed.

Full details of all current trustees and members (including those who have stepped down during the last 12 months) are listed below along with details of their relevant business and pecuniary interests.
