Become a Governor

We are looking for new governors to support our academies.

Our governors work closely with their academies to support the Trust’s goal of broadening the horizons of young people through a world-class education, equipping our students with the skills and experiences to become their confident, academic best, no matter what.

If you have an interest in, and commitment to, improving education and would like to make a difference within your community, please register your interest in becoming a governor by completing our Governor Application Form. 

To find out more about the role, please access this booklet.
