Academy Committee / Governors

Shaw Ridge Primary School is part a multi academy trust called Grove Learning Trust.  Please click here to visit Grove Learning Trust’s Website.   

As an academy that is part of Grove Learning Trust, Shaw Ridge Primary School has an academy committee made up of staff, parents and people from the community which is overseen by the Trust’s members and trustees.   

Academy Committee governors are expected to champion and hold the leadership team to account for its performance through effective support and challenge. They operate as one body, as a committee of the Board of Trustees, which is the Trust's legal governing body. Each Academy Committee is accountable to the Board of Trustees through the Board's committees - Resources, Audit and Risk (RAR) and Standards & Performance (S&P). Governors are appointed by the Academy Committee after appropriate elections or recruitment processes.

Parent Teacher Association

The Friends of Shaw Ridge is the Shaw Ridge Primary School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and its mission is to promote positive relationships throughout the school community by organising social events and fundraising for additional resources.

All parents and carers automatically become members of the Friends of Shaw Ridge when their children join the school.

For more information on our fundraising events please visit our facebook page. @friendsofshawridge.com

Easy ways everyone can help:

Click here to order Stikins school uniform name labels and raise money for the school.

Don’t forget about Easy Fundraising – if you join, every time you shop online you can help raise extra money for the school. 

AmazonSmile - When you shop at smile.amazon.com or using AmazonSmile in the Amazon Shopping app, Amazon will donate to FOSR charity.

Your School Lottery - Sign up and help us raise money at the same time as giving parents/carers the chance to win prizes!

Don't forget!

We also have a clothing recycling bin located in the car park. All proceeds go to the FOSR charity.

We also recycle ink cartridges and water filter cartridges which saves them from landfill and helps us raise funds. These recycling boxes are located in the main school reception.

 

If you want to get in touch with any fundraising ideas or to volunteer, please email us friendsofshawridge@gmail.com
