Academy Council

The Willowbrook Academy Council (local governing body) is being reformatted after a long period, under the previous Trust) when there was no local governance. The Council will be in place for term 5 2024-5. 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.

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.
