Governance of The Priory Learning Trust
There are three layers of governance in The Priory Learning Trust: Members, Trustees and Community Councillors, with each tier having a distinctive role.
Governance of Priory Community School - An Academy
The local tier of governance for each TPLT school is undertaken by a Community Council. A strong link to the local community is fundamental to the Trust’s approach to school improvement. Schools are an important part of local democracy and the link between Priory and its community helps ensure that the school provides a high quality education for all children in the community.
Through the representation of different stakeholder groups (parents, staff, community), our Community Councillors have a strong understanding of the school and its community. Councils meet six times a year to discuss topics chosen by the council that are important to the school, and where a community perspective will help to improve the educational experience for students.
