Academy Council

The Chapmanslade Academy Council (local governing body) was reformatted in Term 5 2024-5 after joining Acorn Education Trust. It will, initially be constituted with members drawn from: 

• The school 
• Local Acorn schools 
• The community, including members of the local secondary Academy Council 
• Parents who we are keen to recruit. 

This link takes you to the core responsibilities of Academy Councils at Acorn:  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.
