In addition to the formal governance framework, Banbury Aspirations Campus will be seeking the views of parents through surgeries to be held each term with the principal or vice principal, to promote strong links with parents and the local community. While it is not part of the governance of the Academy, the surgeries will provide a means for its members to gain a better understanding of the functioning of the Academy and identify matters they would like to have considered by the Regional Board.
