Welcome and Introduction to our Community Council
Community Councils are a formal part of the Trust’s governance structure.They are advisory bodies who focus on;
Whether the school's vision and ethos reflect the lived experiences of pupils, parents, staff, and the wider community;
How well the school’s curriculum supports and develops all of its pupils so that they are able to contribute positively to life in modern Britain and are ready for the next stage of their education; and
Championing the strengths and achievements of the school and the Trust to parents, staff, and the wider community.
Community councillors are a much valued group of volunteers that play a crucial role in our school offering challenging but respectful, positive and proactive support to the Principal and Senior Leadership team on behalf of the children and community that the school serves. They know and celebrate the strengths of the community that the school serves alongside holding the highest aspirations and expectations for our pupils.
Community councillors are appointed from current parents, staff and pupils alongside committed individuals from the wider community. Councillors have a keen interest in education and the wider opportunities the school offers to all pupils. They also have some free time to dedicate to supporting the school in strengthening its role at the heart of the community, helping our children reach their full potential.
