Part of ILG & Governance
Our school is part of the Inspired Learning Group (‘ILG’) of independent schools and nurseries.
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.
ILG Founder, Mr Amit Mehta
Amit Mehta started his business career at Fortune 500 company Avery Dennison, quickly rising through the ranks to become a senior executive reporting directly to the CFO. Ten years at the company taught him a huge amount about what makes a successful enterprise tick, experience he then employed when setting off to try his hand at businesses of his own. Amit successfully built and grew two private equity-backed businesses, learning more about how to manage different teams, understand customer needs and to always aim to exceed expectations. With a young family in tow, Amit soon started looking for a new opportunity relevant to his changing lifestyle – something that would allow him to give back to the community and give him a greater sense of personal satisfaction. He decided to take over a group of three struggling schools and focus on turning their fortunes around – ultimately saving them from the brink of closure. The venture proved life-changing, as Amit realised he’d found his calling. Since founding the Inspired Learning Group in 2014 he has expanded the group’s portfolios of schools to 16, nurseries to 7 and still growing.
ILG is now Amit’s passion and being able to apply his business acumen to education is something that energises him every day. He loves working with children, teachers and parents to improve the quality of education, boost local communities and make a real difference to the lives of so many young children.

The Management Team’s Core Governance Responsibilities are to:
- Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- Set and review policies, plans and procedures
- Hold those in leadership positions to account for the management and educational provision of the school or nursery
- Ensure compliance with legal and DfE requirements
- Contribute to and attend ISI/Ofsted inspections as and when required

Our Advisory Board
The School’s Advisory Board is composed of individuals from both within the Inspired Learning Group (ILG) team and those with connections to our school. Their responsibilities align with standard Board of Governors’ functions encompassing the school’s vision, ethos, and strategic direction. The Board also establishes and reviews policies and procedures – ensuring leadership accountability for school management, educational provision, and compliance with legal and DfE requirements.
Additionally, the Board contributes to inspections, monitors and evaluates performance to enhance standards, ensures students’ welfare and pastoral care, supports leaders, and provides recommendations to the Proprietor, always prioritising the school’s best interests with integrity and objectivity. The SLT reports to the Board periodically through formal meetings and regular contact with the Chair and other members of the ILG executive team. To ensure complete governance, the Board operates through two committees, Education and Compliance, both of which feed into a Full Board, thus providing a comprehensive approach to direct our school’s success and growth.
