TRUSTEE

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP MAKE A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION TO CHILDREN’S EDUCATION?

Being a Trustee is a challenging but hugely rewarding voluntary role. It will give you the chance to make a real difference to young people, give something back to your local community and use and develop your skills in a board-level environment. There is no requirement for you to have an understanding of the education system, just the necessary skills, character and time to contribute.

Schools benefit from a range of professional knowledge on their governing board including education, finance, human resources, legal, marketing and public relations, property and estates management, and organisational change. 

AS A TRUSTEE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Use your own experience of education and life beyond school to inform conversations
• Develop and utilise your skills in a board-level environment
• Make a valuable contribution to education and your community
• Support and challenge the school so that it improves for pupils and staff
• Bring your unique experiences, perspectives and insights in to decision-making in the interests of the school community
