Governance
Governors use their expertise to challenge and support leaders in their evaluation of pupils’ educational experience and the formulation and execution of the school’s comprehensive development plan. They gain detailed knowledge of the workings of the school through regular face-to-face meetings with pupils, staff and parents.

Governance
Park Hill School is part of the Inspired Learning Group (‘ILG’) of independent schools and nurseries. www.inspiredlearninggroup.co.uk. Governance is carried out by the Advisory Board, on behalf of the company Proprietor (Amit Mehta) and the school Proprietor (Sheetal Mehta).
Our Aim
ILG strives to create safe and inspiring educational environments where children can grow into positive and impactful members of society who will, one day in turn, shape the outlook of the next generation. Our schools and nurseries combine traditional values and forward-thinking ideas to help every single pupil realise their potential, so they are prepared to take on jobs that have not yet been invented.
Our Philosophy
ILG believes, first and foremost, in putting your child at the heart of everything we do. We endeavour to provide educational excellence within a culture of care to nurture each pupil the best we can. We want to offer a wide range of opportunities, both academic and extra-curricular, so that all our children are endowed with the spirit to aspire and become twenty first century citizens.
