Your community. Your voice. Your local academy. 💙

We’re looking for Community Council Members to join our Academy Community Councils.

Academy Community Councils are the local committees that help our academies provide the best opportunities for children and young people.
You don’t need to work in education or have governance experience.

We’re looking for people who care about their community, want young people to succeed and are happy to bring their own perspective to the table.

Training and support are provided.

💬 Want to know more before deciding? Book an informal 1-2-1 chat with our Governance Team. www.coopacademies.co.uk/governance

Thank you to all the families that attended our Time to Talk afternoon and thank you to Co-op for the generous donation of tea and cakes. Events like this can be a perfect opportunity
