Why Volunteer as a School Governor or Trustee?

• Make a Lasting Impact: Help drive decisions that improve school outcomes and give every child the best start in life.

• Make your voice heard: whether you’re a parent, community member, or professional, your perspective is vital in creating a positive school environment.

• Flexible commitment: with just a few hours each term for meetings and training, the role fits around your schedule while still making a significant impact.

• Develop new skills: If you’re looking to gain experience in strategic decision-making and leadership, this role provides the ideal platform for growth.

We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply!

People from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Governing boards should represent the communities they serve, as well as wider society. We welcome interest from underrepresented groups to ensure our boards are diverse in background, skillset, and thought.

Diversity is a powerful instrument for effective governance. Trustees are required to make choices that impact the daily lives of children, from school finance all the way through to staff and pupil recruitment. It’s essential that boards possess a broad set of beliefs, experiences, and ideas to inform their final judgements. We believe that true representation at board level enables all children to fulfil their potential.

Join us and help shape the future of education in your community!

The Leaf Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people across all its schools and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Suitability to work with children will form part of the selection process, and all appointments will be subject to comprehensive vetting, including an enhanced DBS check and an online search in line with safer recruitment practices.

We are also dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We encourage applications from all suitably qualified candidates, particularly those from underrepresented groups, as we strive to build a workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities served by Leaf schools.
