The Year 7, 8 & 9 Academy Committee was joined by Mrs Gallagher, Academy Committee Chair, at this week’s meeting.

Mrs Gallagher introduced herself, explaining her role and how her primary aim is to make the Academy a better place for children in which to learn. Discussions took place surrounding the importance of the Academy Council, and how this strategic group could be more involved in decision making, including how to monitor the effectiveness of lessons and tutor times.

Lively discussions took place around the need for a uniform review, a possible house system and pupil progression. The Council held a democratic vote and agreed that the charities for 2014/15 would be: Promise Dreams, Acorns Children’s Hospice and Save the Children.

We look forward to the next meeting.
