Expressions of Interest to join the SSC

The Avanti Schools Trust and each Avanti School is supported by School Stakeholder Committees (SSCs). The purpose of the SSCs is to work with the School Principal to ensure that the school is offering the best possible education for its children in a way that supports the Values, Vision and Ethos of the Trust.

The key requirement of an SSC Member is a genuine interest in the learning, development and enhancement of the life chances of our young people with the best interests of our children at heart. With this in mind, SSC Members are encouraged to be the “critical friend” of the school Executive Principal and Leadership Team – to challenge them – knowledgeably and in the appropriate way – to seek assurances around school standards, provision and performance.
