Academy Council

Our Academy Council plays a vital role in shaping the experience of our pupils, parents, staff and wider community.

Meet our Academy Council

All Lift Schools are guided by an Academy Council – a group of parents, staff, community members and trust representatives – who bring valuable insight and local knowledge to support our school. Their role is to ensure our vision and values are reflected in everyday school life, champion our achievements and strengthen relationships between pupils and the wider community. Through meaningful engagement, they help us provide the best possible education and opportunities for every child.
