Local governance and accountability is secured through our system of Academy Councils, with the Trust Board retaining overall legal control of its academies in line with Department for Education and Education Funding Agency expectations.
Shaw Education Trust operates two models of local governance, Kidsgrove Primary School operates under SET & Local Board terms.
Matters related to education, standards and performance are undertaken through the Progress Board.
Matters related to operational issues are undertaken through the Team Around the School Meeting.
