Community Council
Governance of our school: 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.elliotfoundation.co.uk (Trust Governance and Community Council documents) noting in particular the Scheme of Delegation and Accountability and Representation documents.

Welcome and Introduction to our Community Council
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
Our Priorities for 2023-2024 are:
Improve teaching and attainment in writing by improving spelling, the breadth of extended writing and the children's physical fluency in writing.
Improve attainment in maths through improved use of resources and investigation.
To develop children's speaking and listening skills and increase their vocabulary but focussing on the teaching of oracy.
Assessment - To use multiple assessment information to maintain consistently high expectations across all areas of the curriculum
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 Headteacher 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 our pupils.
Community councillors are appointed from current parents and staff 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 vision and aim for every child to develop and enjoy their time at school, learning and progressing to further education.
