Academy ambassador groups
Change from governing body to new Academy Ambassador groups
Our Local Governing Bodies (LGBs) are being replaced by Academy Ambassador groups. Academy Ambassadors provide a bridge between the school and the community. They advocate on behalf of children through supporting the school in accessing local partnerships that create value, allow the voice of parents to be heard and to provide some independent feedback to the board of trustees on their experience of the academy. Headteachers have been working with Chairs and our Interim CEO to develop academy Ambassador groups..
E-ACT aims to provide consistently strong leadership and oversight for the progress of our students. Please reach out (info@e-act.org.uk) if you have any questions about Academy Ambassador groups.
Governors who have served in the previous 12 months before the change to 'Academy Ambassadors' as instigated by E-Act.
