Trustees The Crossley Heath School Academy Trust, Halifax, is seeking to appoint new Trustees to join our Governing Body who are willing to contribute and commit to the governance of this successful and truly child-centred school. With parents currently well represented, we are seeking applications from individuals who do not have children studying in the school. Trustees play a vital role in setting the school’s vision, overseeing the school’s financial performance, holding the school leadership to account and challenging existing processes to drive school improvements and outcomes for pupils. No-one person can do all of the above so it’s important to have a diverse range of expertise, skills and experience and for Trustees to work together as a team. To build a more capable board, experience in the following areas in particular is desirable but not limited to: Curriculum, Teaching, Finance, HR, Estates and Premises. As a Trustee you will provide oversight and accountability but you also engage with pupils, staff and parents to understand their views. Typically, this would involve meetings throughout the year and occasionally supporting the school at events as outlined in the applicant pack. It can be a truly rewarding experience which allows you to make a difference and improve the lives of young people. If you are willing to devote some of your time to improving The Crossley Heath School and have some of the skills and knowledge referenced in the person specification, we would love to hear from you. Applications are welcomed from people from all backgrounds and age groups, from young adults upwards. The closing date is 9.00am on Friday 11 July 2025. Interviews will be carried out by the Members Board in July 2025. We are committed to safeguarding children in all aspects of recruitment and selection. The appointment will be subject to pre-employment checks, including an enhanced DBS check. We believe our staff are the school’s greatest asset. We have signed up to the Education Staff Wellbeing Charter with the aim of supporting the wellbeing and mental health of all staff.
