Welcome and Introduction to our Community Council 

The Trust governance model recognises that Community Councils are, whilst a full and formal part of the governance structure in line with the Trust’s Articles of Association, wholly advisory bodies who focus on;

○ The ethos and values of Greenside

○ The ambition, appropriateness and effectiveness of our curriculum for our students

○ The wellbeing of students, families and staff

.

In 2022-2023 we are also have the following key priorities:

Key Priority 1: Developing our Film Factory Experiential Learning Model – Going Places with Student Stories! Our Journeys.

Key Priority 2: Develop our Community Learning & Links – Making Greenside even better – GGG are Going Places!

Key Priority 3: Develop Leadership at Greenside. Leading to Break Boundaries  Beyond Greenside!

1. Leadership
2. Student Leadership
3.  Community Council

Community councillors are a much valued group of volunteers that play a crucial role in Greenside offering challenging but positive and proactive support to the Principal & Head of School and Leadership Group on behalf of the students and community that Greenside serves. They know and celebrate the strengths of the community alongside holding the highest aspirations and expectations for our students. 

Community councillors are appointed from current parents/ carers, staff and staff alongside committed individuals from the wider community. Councillors have an interest in the education and wider opportunities offered by Greenside to all students and have some free time to give to supporting Greenside to be an inspirational place of learning that breaks boundaries and flips the learning through Film and the Arts. All of our students aspire to be World Ready and Test Ready focus through our experiential learning model.
