Academy Council

The Academy Council plays a vital role in the governance and accountability of Willowbrook Primary School and is comprised of Governors who want to make a positive contribution to the school community.

Currently, the role of Academy Council is being overseen by a sub-committee of the Board of Trustees. This arrangement will continue until recruitment of the new Academy Council is complete.

Acorn Academy Councils

Their responsibilities lie in the areas of:

• Parent relations
• Vision and values
• Community relations
• Under the umbrella of the professionals at the Trust, Safeguarding
• Behaviour and reward
• Wider curriculum

As well as the above the Academy Council has an understanding of the school through the self-evaluation form which gives information on all aspects of the school three times a year.

The Academy Council is also the key link between the local governance and the Board of the Acorn education Trust.
