School Academy Community Councillors, Roles and Responsibilities

Academy Community Councillors (ACCs) are drawn from different parts of the community and can be parents and staff or from the community and other groups. This helps ensure the Academy Community Committee (ACC) has sufficient diversity of views and experience but does not mean ACCs of a particular category represent that group on the Academy Community Council. For example, Parent ACCs do not represent the parents at the school and do not report back to them.

The table below shows each ACC's area of responsibility:
