Academy Representative Committee (ARC)
The ARC's role is not about fundraising, neither it is about cheerleading for the school - though members might do both those things. Our Academy Representatives provide strategic leadership and accountability in school.
It is this committee who holds the main responsibility for finance in schools, and it is our Academy Representatives who work to make the tough decisions about balancing resources.
BWH's ARC aims to:
- set the aims and objectives for the school with the purpose of raising standards and securing the health, safety and well-being of pupils;
- set the policies that underpin those aims and objectives;
- set the targets for achieving those aims and objectives;
- monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making towards achievements of its aims and objectives;
- be a source of challenge and support to the Headteacher (a critical friend);
- be accountable for the school’s strategic development.
