Trustee Vacancy
Required to start ASAP
Voluntary Position – approx. 6 meetings a year
We are a busy, vibrant, and happy school – academically successful but driven to achieve much more. We believe that education must maintain a balance between intellect and character. An outstanding education is not either/or. It is both. We believe that qualifications are what students get; they do not define who they are and will play only a part in shaping the people they become. Our academic curriculum therefore is only a part of what we do.
At the Folkestone School for Girls, students do not complete an excessive amount of qualifications. This allows them not only time to focus efforts on achieving the very best grades within these, but also time to participate in co-curricular activities and interests, both at school and at home. There is time to spend with friends and family and time, too, to just be a child.
A justifiable balance between intellect character.
We seek to appoint an enthusiastic, reliable and conscientious trustee who will take pride in shaping the future of our school.
Being a Trustee is a rewarding and effective way of making a voluntary contribution to your local community and to the lives of local young people.
Trustees are appointed by the board of trustees to represent community interests.
They generally live or work in the community served by the school and have a keen interest in the school’s success.
What are Trustees?
Trustees are strategic leaders in schools that meet approx. 6 times per year.
The Principal is accountable to the board of Trustees, whose role is to set the aims & objectives of the school (together with the Principal) in line with national guidelines and to monitor progress.
