IGS Local Governing Body (LGB)
Ilkley Grammar School is part of Moorlands Learning Trust (MLT) multi-academy trust (MAT) and currently has 9 serving governors on the board.
The detail of our business is dealt with via committees. The Local Governing Body (LGB), and the committees usually meet twice per term. Agendas, minutes and associated papers from the LGB meetings can be viewed at the school by request.
The Local Governing Body works under the agreed MLT scheme of delegation, in partnership with the Headteacher who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school.
Trustees of the MAT, governors, associate members, the Headteacher and the clerk have the right to attend governing body meetings. In addition, the LGB can allow any other person to attend its meetings. Associate members may be excluded from any part of a meeting when the item of business concerns an individual student or member of staff.
One of the key roles and responsibilities of the LGB is to monitor the progress and performance of the school. Governors hold positions with specific responsibilities usually referred to as 'governor representatives'. The representative will not only help the LGB to understand what happens in school but also helps the governors to fulfil their strategic role.
