Meet the Local Advocates

Our Local Advocates are very proud of Castle Cary Primary School and work hard to promote the welfare and ethos of the school. Our Local Advocate Board works as a sub-committee of the ACE Strategic Board. They are volunteers who are elected or appointed by parents, staff or the Board to ensure we deliver successful outcomes for our pupils by:

• scrutinising strategy at local level

• providing vital monitoring and reporting on Trust strategy

• monitoring local stakeholder voice

• acting as a source of challenge and support to the Headteacher

• They monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making both academically and within its community.

They meet as a board and as part of our Trust wide portfolio monitoring cycle around four times per academic year. You can find out more about the work of Local Advocates, what their remit is and how this contributes to the governance of our schools across ACE by visiting their website here: Ace | Academies For Character And Excellence or by reading the Scheme of Delegation here.

We would be interested in hearing from you if you have time to dedicate to this rewarding role on behalf of our school.

If you would like more information or wish to get in touch with the Chair of the Local Advocate Board, please contact the Clerk in the first instance: alix.caddy@acexcellence.co.uk.
