Our Local Governing Body normally meets twice a term to review school performance, exchange news and learning, and make decisions such as to approve new policies.  

The Local Governing Body helps the school provide the best possible education for all our pupils by:

• Thinking and working strategically to help to raise standards
• Monitoring and evaluating progress towards the school’s priorities and targets
• Supporting the Headteacher and Staff as well as challenging their expectations
• Accounting to stakeholders for the school’s overall performance and for the decisions they have made

The role of Governors

There are three interwoven strands:

• To take a largely strategic role in the running of the school
• To act as a critical friend to the school
• To ensure accountability of the governing body to the parents and of the Headteacher to the Governing Body

The responsibilities and powers have to be exercised in partnership with the Headteacher and Staff.

The Clerk to the Local Governing Body is Charlotte Jones who supports formal meetings and provides advice and guidance to the Governing Body and individual Governors. You can contact the Clerk via the school office: office@ilchester.ppat365.org

The Governing Board is the PPAT Board of Directors - Louise Orton, contacted via Lead Governance Professional hroper@ppat.org
