Governance

Governing Body

​The Advocate role replaces that of a ‘traditional’ school governor within primary schools in the Dartmoor Multi Academy Trust.
Advocates are there to provide assurance that:

• the strategic vision of the Dartmoor Multi Academy Trust – ‘to provide the highest possible education for all local children, in order to ensure pupils from all backgrounds are able to succeed’ is being enacted
• stakeholders in the school (parents, pupils, staff and community) are listened to, respected and involved and this is evident through the lived experience of the school

Lydford Primary School is supported by:
1 Community Advocate – Jonathan Gilpin
1 Parent & Pupil Advocate – Vacant
 
Trustees oversee Primary Advocates through the Primary Advocacy Board. The Chair is Emma Neath.
​
Minutes of Primary Advocacy Board meetings can be seen on the Trust website.
