Hub Council
Our academies are clustered together in hubs which are grouped according to both strategic and geographical areas. Hubs provide strategic partnerships to facilitate and deliver our core purpose of ensuring outstanding outcomes for pupils.
Every Aspire academy is accountable to the Trust Board. A Hub Council is perfectly positioned to facilitate this and to ensure the academies within it can realistically meet the requirements of the Trust.
Hub Councillors, in partnership with academies, communicate and work in conjunction with the Board to provide a vital link and additional level of accountability.
