  I have been involved with the school for more than 5 years. I am Chair of Governors and am the Governor who has responsibility for Safeguarding and SEND. I am also the link Governor for Early Year's Foundation Stage (EYFS), History and Geography.

  I was previously a Governor of a Prep School in Salisbury for several years and have recently taken up a role at the new Salisbury Academy for Inspirational Learning (SAIL). I am a Trustee of the Pembroke Centre which is the home of Wilton Riding for the Disabled which aims to enrich lives through involvement with horses. I have three children and live in Fonthill Gifford.

  Foundation Governor
  Grant Philpott

  I am an engineer and have spent most of my working life in the area of patenting. I am married to Morag and we have lived in wonderful Chilmark for 8 years. We have three adult children who grew up and were educated in the UK, Germany, The Netherlands and Brazil, so we have experience of various educational systems, and their strengths and weaknesses. I also set up and led the Duke of Edinburgh's Award together with a team of around 20 teachers and parents at the European School in Munich. I have been a governor in Chilmark for around 2 years and thoroughly enjoy the role – I look forward to meeting you!

  I moved to Teffont Evias in April 2010 with my husband Richard and our cockerpoo Lola, but I continued to work in London until December 2024 when I partially retired. The first 15 years of my career were spent working in various senior finance roles in the hotel industry (Holiday Inns, InterContinental Hotels, and The Savoy Group). This was followed by 20 years working with SMEs in media, events, conferences & training industries, where I enjoyed the ability to affect change more quickly in smaller organisations. All roles involved restructuring, innovating, and managing teams, reporting to the Board of Directors, and covered responsibility for IT, HR, legal and office facilities management.

  In May 2026 I joined Chilmark School as the Finance Governor helping to implement and maintain strong financial policies and procedures. In April 2026 I was also co-opted onto the Teffont Parochial Church Council to work as Treasurer of the “Friends of Evias Church”, an appeal to raise funds to restore the church of St Michael and All Angels.
