Local governance within our schools
To support the work of schools and the Trustees, Dartmoor Multi Academy Trust ensures the local stakeholder voice is represented and heard through our Advocates in our primary schools and Local Stakeholder Boards within our secondary settings. They provide a local level of access and accountability for our parents and carers designed to build and deepen partnership and connection. This is the place where the individual pupil and parent voice is heard and understood; where the lived experience of our provision and offer is felt and triangulated.
Advocates meet trustees at the Primary Advocacy Board (split into two committees) which comes together 4 times a year to receive reports and hear stakeholder voice feedback directly.
There are three types of Advocate:
South Tawton Primary School Advocates:
Parent & Pupil Advocate: Isabella Peck [email protected]
Community Advocate: Maggie Bowden [email protected]
