Great Ouse Primary Academy is part of Meridian Trust. The Trust was formed with a simple and clear vision: to ensure high quality education for all at the heart of the local communities.
The school has an Academy Council which provides local governance. It is made up of volunteers from the local community, parents, headteacher and colleagues from the trust.
The Academy Council is focused upon the individual school context, monitoring standards and achievement, and supporting and challenging school leaders to provide the best possible education for the students. The Academy Council role includes:
Setting strategic priorities and plans
Monitoring standards and achievement within the school
Ensuring Trust policies are implemented
Engaging with all stakeholders to improve outcomes
Supporting and positively challenging school leaders.
Each Academy Councilor takes on the role of Champion for a particular area, in which they hold the Academy leadership to account by providing challenge and support within an agreed framework. The Academy Council meets as a full body six times in the year. There are no committees.
