Member of the Trust Board

Updated: 13th May, 2025

We are seeking dedicated individuals to contribute their skills and expertise to our Board of Trustees. As a Trustee, you will play a crucial role in guiding our organisation towards operational and educational excellence.

What do Trustee’s do?

The main responsibilities of the trustees are to:

  • Ensure clarity of vision, ethos, and strategic direction
    This means that you need to make sure your Trust has a clear idea of what it wants to achieve, and a plan for how to achieve it. Your role is to help set and embed the Trust’s vision, ethos, and strategy, and use these to monitor how the Trust is doing.
  • Hold executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff
    This means you need to make sure that Trust leaders are using their professional judgement properly and managing the performance of staff and pupils effectively. You also need to make sure that the information and data you get from your Trust leaders is accurate.
  • Oversee the financial performance of the organisation and make sure money is well spent
    Your role here is to monitor your Trust’s finances and make sure the Trust is achieving value for money. Ultimately, you need to be sure that public money is spent correctly in the best interests of its students.
