Dear Parents and Carers,
We have an exciting opportunity for you to join our Academy Council as a Parent Councillor! If you are passionate about our academy and want to make a difference, we encourage you to put your name forward for election. There are two parent councillor vacancy currently available for election.
What does being an Academy Councillor involve?
You don’t need to be a professional—your attitude and personal skills are what matter most. Our Academy Council meets five to six times a year, with occasional extra meetings during the school day. Councillors often focus on specific areas and are expected to attend meetings regularly, prepare in advance, and complete annual training. The term of office runs for four years.
Visits to the academy are also part of the role, offering valuable insights and perspectives. Parent Councillors bring a parent’s viewpoint to discussions and decisions, representing the parent body.
Deadline for Applications:
If you wish to stand for election, please complete the online form which you can access here or if you require a paper form, please contact the academy office, who will be happy to provide you with this.
The deadline for all expressions of interest is 12:00 on 1st July 2025.
If we receive more expressions of interest than the number of vacancies, an election will be held.
For more information, please email governance@clf.uk.
Kind regards,
Tessa Clark
Clerk to the Academy Council
