The Wren School Academy Committee

History

The Wren School Academy Committee (the Academy Committee) and thenceforth ‘the Academy Committee’, was initially appointed by the Members of The Wren School Academy Trust on 8 June 2015 and included parents, staff and members of the community. As Trustees and Directors, governors ensured the strategic direction of the school, accountability throughout the school and financial probity.  The academy transferred to Excalibur Academies Trust on 1st February 2019.

Current

The Academy Committee acts as a Local Academy Committee for Excalibur Academies Trust and the Academy Committee works alongside the principal and his senior leaders to support and challenge their work. It is responsible for the conduct of the school and for promoting high standards. The Academy Committee aims to ensure that children are attending a successful school which provides them with a good education and supports their well-being. Minutes of the meetings of The Wren School Academy Committee and the Excalibur Academies Trust are available on request.  Please contact the Clerk to Governors at clerktogovernors@wren.excalibur.org.uk.
