ETHOS & ADVISORY COMMITTEES

The role of the Ethos & Advisory Committee is to support, inform, advise and challenge provision; working together, empowering excellence and improving outcomes for all children. Working with the Senior Team and the Trust Board , Ethos & Advisory Committees are a local voice and a link with local communities and churches (Church Schools) as well as being advocates for all Trust schools. Details about the composition of this Committee can be found on the Learning Academy Partnership website.

As ambassadors for the academies, Ethos & Advisory Committees can play a crucial role in enriching community relationships and communication, contributing to the collective effectiveness of academies and the Board of Trustees.
