We currently have two vacancies for Academy Councillors and you are very welcome to put your name forward should you wish to stand for election. Much like a Governing Body, the Academy Council’s role is to ensure your children learn in a safe environment and to the maximum of their ability.
All parents and carers are eligible to stand for election, except:
- Persons liable to be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983
- Undischarged bankrupts
- Persons recently convicted of a serious offence
- Persons disqualified under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986
- Persons subject to disqualification as a Charity Trustee
- Persons whose employment is prohibited or restricted
- Persons disqualified from being proprietors of independent schools
- Persons on the DfES List 99 (this is a list of people banned from working with children)
If you would like to put your name forward, please complete the form using the following link by Friday 18th March: https://forms.office.com/r/CJU5kWtWeu
You will need to write a brief factual statement about yourself (not exceeding 100 words) and include it on this form. You might like to include a little about your background and why you want to be a Councillor. Should an election be necessary I will circulate to voters your statement and those of other candidates. Please do take a look at the Academy Council section of the website for information about our Council. If you have any questions about the role, please feel free to contact me by email at [email protected]
Yours sincerely
Sue Burns
Clerk to the Academy Council
