Community Council

The Elliot Foundation Academies Trust is the governance body responsible for the school as a whole with the Board of Trustees accountable for decisions made.

For more information on the Trust and how our governance structure works, please visit www.elliot foundation.co.uk (Trust Governance and Community Council documents) noting in particular the Scheme of Delegation and Accountability and Representation documents.

The Trust Legal and Governance Director can also be emailed on jem.shuttleworth@elliotfoundation.co.uk .

Community Council

Community councillors are a much valued group of volunteers that play a crucial role in our school offering challenging but 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 all of our pupils.

Community councillors are appointed from current parents, staff and pupils alongside committed individuals from the wider community. Councillors have an interest in the education and wider opportunities offered by the school to all pupils and have some free time to give to supporting the school to continue to be a successful and popular school at the heart of our local community.

We are not currently looking to recruit to our Community Council.

Meet Our Community Councillors

The Trust governance model recognises that Community Councils are, whilst a full and formal part of the governance structure in line with the Trust’s Articles of Association, wholly advisory bodies who focus on;

The ethos and values of the school
The ambition, appropriateness and effectiveness of the school’s curriculum for its children
The wellbeing of pupils, families and staff

Last year, 2022-2023, our Community Council pursued the following lines of enquiry:

The bredth and depth of the Chandos Curriculum Model. How it meets the cultural diversity of our community.
Extra curriculum provision and it's impact on children
Pupil Premium and Sport Premium spending and impact
Pupil Voice
Safeguarding within our curriculum
