Governance & Funding

As part of Creative Education Trust, our school benefits from the support and challenge of an Academy Council.

Academy Councillors are volunteers who bring professional expertise, local knowledge and community perspectives to help ensure the school remains closely connected to the community it serves.

Working on behalf of the Trust Board, the Academy Council acts as the Trust's local "eyes and ears", championing stakeholder voice, supporting community engagement and providing constructive challenge to school leaders. Together, Academy Councillors help ensure that our school continues to deliver ambition, equity and opportunity for every learner.

School Funding

Our school receives additional government funding to support specific aspects of pupils' education and development.

Pupil Premium funding helps schools improve outcomes for disadvantaged pupils, including children eligible for Free School Meals and certain children who have previously been in care. We use this funding to help remove barriers to learning, raise attainment and ensure all pupils can achieve their full potential.

PE and Sport Premium funding is provided to improve the quality of physical education, physical activity and sport within primary schools. The funding helps schools increase participation, enhance teaching and promote healthy, active lifestyles.

Details of how these funds are allocated and the impact they have on pupils can be found in the reports below.
