"As I enter my second year as Chair of the AAG at Riverside Meadows,  I am excited by all the developments being made to continue to grow and refire our academy.

Our focus on helping students to ASPIRE, LEARN and SUCCEED, combined with our specialised approach to supporting those with SEMH developmental needs, puts us in a unique position to positively impact young lives.

We continue to work together as a team to go above and beyond in order to support our students.  I look forward to working closely with staff, students, and families to build on our strengths and create new opportunities for success."

Riverside Meadows Academy is governed by an Academy Advisory Group (AAG). This group of people is made up of a chairperson, co-headteachers, a range of local business and community representatives and parent representatives. The AAG meets every half-term and minutes of the meetings are readily available.

The core functions of the Riverside Meadows Academy AAG are:

• Monitor educational performance and pupil outcomes, providing constructive feedback to support improvement
• Ensure effective safeguarding and welfare arrangements are in place and consistently implemented
• Oversee progress against the academy’s improvement plan and school self-evaluation
• Act as a consultative body to the Headteacher, supporting and constructively challenging leadership
• Promote meaningful engagement with parents, carers, and the wider community, ensuring local voices are heard
• Report key risks, opportunities, and local priorities to the Trust Board, in line with the Scheme of Delegation
• Undertake regular learning walks and link visits to observe academy life and report findings to the AAG
