We have two models operating across our schools as follows: 1. Academy Councils (ACs) 2. Interim Executive Boards (IEBs) Academy Councils offer a more traditional model of local governance, with an appointed membership board working regularly with schools under our scheme of delegation. Academy Councils work to a standardised agenda produced by SET, which covers a wide range of school business to ensure the school is meeting the needs of its pupils and the local community. As such, the Academy Council will have 2 parents as members. IEBs are an interim measure put in place when SET judges a school to require rapid impact. IEBs are made up of education and support services professionals from within the Trust who have the expertise to challenge and support the school to succeed. Once the school has achieved improvement expectations, the IEB will transition into an Academy Council. Within Shaw Education Trust our function of governance at local level is: *“To be responsible for supporting and challenging our Academy and Trust leaders, ensuring that decisions made at a local level are for the benefit of pupils, and directly linked to the strategic vision of the Academy and Trust. To ensure these decisions consider the views of our other stakeholders (parents, staff and local community) and effective communication exists between all. These decisions centre mainly around areas of educational standards & provision, and operational functions, as detailed in the Scheme of Delegation.”* Streethay Primary currently works with an Academy Council. ### Streethay Academy Council The main functions of the our local Academy Council/Local Advisory Board are: - monitoring school improvement work carried out - providing understanding of the local context and the challenge that the local environment presents - acting as a sounding board for senior leaders, especially the Headteacher - providing regular monitoring of health and safety matters, safeguarding provision, the welfare of looked after children, and provision for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities - monitoring and quality assuring the curriculum - building and maintaining positive local perceptions of the school - building and maintaining relationships with the local and regional business community - building and maintaining relationships with community partners (e.g. health services, police, social services) - the Chair assisting in the recruitment process for leadership roles | **Our Local Academy Council and focus areas:** | - **Stuart Taylor - Headteacher** - **Cathy Lomas - Community Co-opted - Chair - Safeguarding** - **Lynsey Turton - Parent Councillor/Staff Councillor - Vice Chair , Health and Safety** - **Charlie Hooper - Parent Councillor** - **Katie Machin - Staff Councillor** | |---|---| | **Others supporting:** | - **Katie Platt - Clerk (Entrust)** - **Helen Cunliffe, National Director of Primary** - **Dickon Taylor, Trust Quality Assurance Link** | Click below to be redirected to Get Information About Schools where governing terms are listed.
