Our members share the firm belief that successful learning communities are underpinned by ambitious vision, trust and strong inspirational leadership at all levels of the organisation; that excellence is not simply defined by Ofsted grades and league table positions; and that education can play a transformational role in the lives of children and the success and wellbeing of our wider society.
In a multi academy trust, trustees are both charity trustees and company directors.
The Trust Board has collective accountability and responsibility for the trust and must ensure compliance with regulatory, contractual and statutory requirements.
Trustees are responsible for holding the trust’s executive leadership to account, offering scrutiny and challenge, and ensuring both robust governance and decision-making and good value for taxpayers’ money.
When joining our Trust Board you will become part of a team and will have the opportunity to apply your unique skills and experience while learning from others. Working closely with a passionate team of people who have different perspectives is often one of the most enjoyable aspects of the role.
