CLF Educational Advisory Group
The CLF Educational Advisory Group are the critical friends of the organisation. If we are going to meet the high expectations we have of ourselves then we need to look outwards as well as inwards to see where we are doing things well and where we need to be better.
The CLF Advisory Group will be made up of nationally and internationally respected school leaders and educators who will visit once per year at different times to look at different aspects of our work. They will make a judgement on what they have seen and feed this back to the CLF Board of Directors, the Executive Principal and the Academy Principals. Where it is appropriate, they will help us access support from the links that they have in their professional roles.
