The Local Advisory Board (LAB) is an advisory sub-committee of the Galaxy Global Education Group’s School Management Board providing local insight, support and challenge to the school’s leadership team.  They enable the school to run as effectively as possible by working alongside the senior leadership team and supporting teachers to provide an excellent education to our pupils. The members of the Local Advisory Board – Plymouth bring a wide range of skills and expertise from their professional lives to the LAB and we benefit greatly from working with them.
