Academy Council

Our Academy Council plays a vital role in shaping the experience of our pupils, parents, staff and wider community.

Meet our Academy Council

Every Lift School is guided by an Academy Council – a group of parents, staff, community members and trust representatives – who bring valuable insight and local knowledge to support our school. Their role is to ensure our vision and values are reflected in everyday school life, champion our achievements and strengthen relationships between pupils and the wider community. Through meaningful engagement, they help us provide the best possible education and opportunities for every child.

Whilst the Board of Trustees holds overall governance accountability, the day-to-day responsibilities are delegated by the Trustees through a Scheme of Delegation to the Leadership Team, regional leaders and Academy Councils.

At a local level, each school in the Trust has an Academy Council. The Academy Council’s primary role is to provide independent assurance to the Trust based on the ‘lived experience’ of pupils, staff, parents, and members of the community, as well as promote stronger relationships between the Trust, the school and its community.

Do you want to make a difference?
If you are passionate about contributing to your community and are interested in finding more out about being part of your school’s Academy Council, we would love to hear from you!
