Local Academy Council

At Green Lane we have a passionate group of volunteers who form the local academy council of our school. Many are parents whose children either are at the school, others are connected to St Mary’s Church through our links with the Church of England, some come from the ranks of our dedicated staff, what links them all is an unwavering dedication to the children and families this school serves. The academy council wants to see every child achieve and thrive, we are particularly focused on assuring that our most disadvantaged pupils leave our school as ready for the next phase of their learning as every other pupil at Green Lane.

Our academy council challenges us to be the best we can be and they support us in achieving this aim. If you feel you could add to our team and help us in our mission for excellence then contact the school via email or write to our Academy Council Chair, Canon Reverend Alec Harding, using the school’s address.

The school is part of the Durham and Newcastle Diocesan Learning Trust, a link to their website can be found here:

Our academy council works closely with the headteacher, school staff and representatives from the DNDL Trust for the benefit of all the children in the school.

How To Become a Member of the Academy Council

Contact our headteacher if you think you might be able to support us even more by joining the academy council.

The Council’s Priorities

Its three core strategic functions are:

  • Ensuring clarity of school vision, ethos and strategic direction
  • Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the support of its staff
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent, particularly in relation to SEND pupils and pupil premium children

The academy council has established the Christian Ethos Committee to ensure that our core Christian values permeate throughout the school.
