We have two models operating across our schools as follows: 1. Academy Councils (ACs) 2. Interim Executive Boards (IEBs) Academy Councils offer a more traditional model of local governance, with an appointed membership board working regularly with schools under our scheme of delegation. Academy Councils work to a standardised agenda produced by SET, which covers a wide range of school business to ensure the school is meeting the needs of its pupils and the local community. As such, the Academy Council will have 2 parents as members. IEBs are an interim measure put in place when SET judges a school to require rapid impact. IEBs are made up of education and support services professionals from within the Trust who have the expertise to challenge and support the school to succeed. Once the school has achieved improvement expectations, the IEB will transition into an Academy Council. Within Shaw Education Trust our function of governance at local level is: *“To be responsible for supporting and challenging our Academy and Trust leaders, ensuring that decisions made at a local level are for the benefit of pupils, and directly linked to the strategic vision of the Academy and Trust. To ensure these decisions consider the views of our other stakeholders (parents, staff and local community) and effective communication exists between all. These decisions centre mainly around areas of educational standards & provision, and operational functions, as detailed in the Scheme of Delegation.”* Evergreen Academy currently works with an Academy Council ### Our Trust - [Shaw Education Trust](https://www.evergreenacademy.org.uk/our-trust/shaw-education-trust) - [Trust Values](https://www.evergreenacademy.org.uk/our-trust/trust-values) - [Careers](https://shaw-education.schoolrecruiter.com/) [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d626234.5323091652!2d-2.681112388200776!3d52.18471656630566!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x48709bf2a31c7259%3A0x6d0b6653d218a58e!2sEvergreen%20Academy%20(Pupil%20Referral%20Unit)!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1730455430249!5m2!1sen!2suk) ![Evergreen Academy](https://files.schudio.com/evergreen-academy/images/logo/evergreen-logo(1).png) **Evergreen Academy** Cromer Gardens, Wolverhampton, WV6 0UA Tel: 01902 558149 Email: [![Shaw Education Trust](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/images/logo/set-misc/footer-logo-v1.png)](https://shaw-education.org.uk) **Shaw Education Trust** Kidsgrove Secondary School Gloucester Road Kidsgrove ST7 4DL VAT: GB 358822467 Tel: 01782 948259 Email: Company Number: 09067175 ### Useful Links: - [Governance](https://www.evergreenacademy.org.uk/key-information/governance) - [Newsletters](https://www.evergreenacademy.org.uk/our-school/newsletter) - [School Opening Times](https://www.evergreenacademy.org.uk/our-school/school-opening-times) - [Curriculum](https://www.evergreenacademy.org.uk/key-information/curriculum) ### Newsletter ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/ShawEducationTrust) - [X](https://x.com/ShawEduTrust) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@shaweducationtrust) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/shaw-education-trust) © Copyright 2024–2026 Evergreen Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.evergreenacademy.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
