The Children’s Trust is seeking to appoint a new School Governor to bring their external perspective and professional knowledge to the Board.

More about The Childrens Trust School: Dedicated and skilled staff maintain a focus on learning, with the multi-disciplinary integrated approach being a huge strength of our school. Together we create an effective whole system to deliver high-quality support and experience for children with special educational needs, placing their quality of life at the heart of what we do.
Our mission: to support children and young people to live the best life possible, with excellent education, health therapy and care (EHTC).
Our vision: The Children's Trust School will be a growth-orientated national centre of excellence for children and their families - with all environments promoting innovative, researched best practice through visionary integrated EHTC.
Schools need and 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.
There is no requirement for you to be a parent or for you to have an understanding of the education system, just the necessary skills, character and time to contribute.
There is plenty of training available to help you learn about SEND education.
