LOCAL ACADEMY COUNCIL Information
Welcome to the section of the website where you can find out more about the councillors , and the work that we do.
Our main role is to support the Headteacher and the staff – the phrase often used to describe this role is ‘a critical friend’. We help them to set and reach targets and to strive for excellence across the whole spectrum of school life.
When we converted to academy status our governing body became a Local Academy Council
These are our current members.
Our governors and their meeting attendance prior to conversion can be found here. VRCPS governors and their attendance at meetings 2017-2018
