About this role
Help us Shape Greater Futures at Cirencester Kingshill School We are looking for enthusiastic and committed individuals to join our Board of Trustees and play an important role in shaping the future of Cirencester Kingshill School. We are currently seeking one independent Trustee from outside the school and one Parent/Carer Trustee. This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to our school and the lives of our young people. As a Trustee, you will work alongside fellow Trustees and school leaders to help set the school's vision, ethos and strategic direction, provide appropriate challenge and scrutiny, and help ensure that decisions support the best possible outcomes for our students. Trustees also play an important role in overseeing the school's financial performance. At Kingshill, our ambition is to Shape Greater Futures. We want every student to leave us not only with strong qualifications, but with the character, experiences and ambition to shape their own future. Who are we looking for?
