Academy Council
As part of Creative Education Trust, our school benefits from the support and challenge of an Academy Council.
Academy Councillors are volunteers who bring professional expertise, local knowledge and community perspectives to help ensure the school remains closely connected to the community it serves.
Working on behalf of the Trust Board, the Academy Council acts as the Trust's local "eyes and ears", championing stakeholder voice, supporting community engagement and providing constructive challenge to school leaders. Together, Academy Councillors help ensure that our school continues to deliver ambition, equity and opportunity for every learner.
