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.

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.
