Governance of our school 

Eyrescroft primary school is governed centrally by the Operations Group Trust (https://elliotfoundation.co.uk/about-us/who-we-are) acting under delegated authority from The Elliot Foundation Academies Trust Board (https://elliotfoundation.co.uk/resources/academy-trust-documents).

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 (link above). The Trust Legal and Governance Director can also be emailed on jem.shuttleworth@elliotfoundation.co.uk 

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

At Eyrescroft, we have an active Community Council who meet 4 times a year. It is made up of three staff members, two parent members and two community members. This group of volunteers are very dedicated to their role as a community councillor and complete regular visits to the school and celebrate positives swell as providing challenge and support. All meetings have been very well attended and below you can find a copy of their summary report from last year.
