Academy Council

Academy Council Information 

The Academy Council serves as the local advisory body squarely focused on providing insight into the experiences of pupils, parents, staff and the wider community.  The remit of the Academy Councils is set out in the Terms of Reference.

• whether the Trust's understanding of the school matches their 'lived experience';

• feedback on the school's priorities, vision, ethos and strategic direction; 

• championing of the school's achievements; 

• developing local links to the community for learning, development and employment; 

• communication of messages back to Trust-level management and governance; and 

• most importantly, whether pupils, parents and staff feel safe and happy. 

If you would like access to the council meeting minutes, you may request a copy from the Governance Team.

Overarching legal responsibility for the academy lies with the Board of Trustees.  For information about AET's governance, please visit the AET Governance Page.  For the Articles of Association, Master Funding Agreement and the academy's Supplemental Funding Agreements, please visit the AET Finance Page.
