Being a Trustee at The Partnership Trust is  a challenging but hugely rewarding role.  You will be given the opportunity to make a difference to young people and give something back to your local community by using and developing your skills in a board level environment.   If you are passionate about education and want to shape the future of young minds becoming a Trustee with us will  give you the opportunity to give  your skills, time and passion to ensure that all young people receive the best education and support. Ultimate responsibility for the Trust and schools within it rests with the Board of Trustees who provide strategic oversight, ensure the Trust meets it legal obligations and hold to account the Trust’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO).  The Trust’s CEO is responsible for leading the Trust’s development and growth, its policies and its school improvement strategy and is supported by an executive team. The CEO is the accounting officer for the Trust.

Our governance structure is designed to provide robust oversight and management without unnecessarily restricting innovation.  It is supported by meetings of the Chairs of our Local Governing Bodies and of our Headteachers across the Trust which are more informal and consultative in nature and which aid communication and understanding across the Trust and  inform Trust Board.   If you would like to find out more about becoming a trustee with us, please contact our Governance Manager, Amy Chadburn: achadburn@thepartnershiptrust.com.
