Kanes Hill
Academy Council
Kanes Hill Primary School is part of the Inspire Learning Partnership multi academy trust. The Trust Board have overall responsibility for the school. The Trust Board has sought to ensure governance activity is vested in those closest to the impact of decision making and that such responsibility matches the capacity of those assuming the responsibility. The Trust Board establishes Local Academy Councils for the Academies, for the most part made up of individuals drawn from the Academy's community, both as elected and appointed members.
Kanes Hill Primary School are challenged and supported by a group of Academy Councillors. The Academy Council is a joint Academy Council with St Monica Primary School and they meet to discuss the school improvement priorities and help the leadership monitor and evaluate impact.
