Being a Councillor
“We aim to develop a culture of diversity, equality and inclusion in which all those connected to Shaw Education Trust feel proud of their identity and ability to participate fully in school life. Across our multi-academy trust, our governance roles are composed of approximately 85% white British, 5% minority ethnic background* and 10% wishing not to share their information.”
*Similar to pupil data, any individual who is of any origin other than white British, is defined as being of minority ethnic background.”
The term of office for all governors is 4 years.
Councillors can put themselves forward at the end of their term for re-election.
