### Academy Council

Governance Information and Duties

The Shaw Education Trust aims:-

*“We aim to develop a culture of diversity, equality and inclusion in which all those connected to Shaw Education Trust feel proud of their identity and ability to participate fully in school life. Across our multi-academy trust, our governance roles are composed of approximately 85% white British, 5% minority ethnic background\* and 10% wishing not to share their information.”*
