Wellsway Multi Academy Trust: Trustees
Moon Executive Search is working with the board of the Wellsway Multi Academy Trust to appoint Trustees, bringing the opportunity to join the Board of a local schools trust providing high quality education for the children and young people in their care.
Wellsway Multi Academy Trust (MAT) was established in 2014. They have grown the Trust to 13 schools operating in the secondary, primary, and special needs sectors, educating young people from the ages of 3 through to 19.
Wellsway MAT aim to continue creating a group of remarkable schools across the Bristol, Keynsham and Bath areas, delivering outcomes for learners that will place each school within the top 20% of similar schools nationally for progress made. They are committed to raising aspiration and never accepting second best. They are creating schools with a very distinctive culture and ethos centred on every student enjoying learning and expecting success. This is a very exciting time for the Trust, and they now require a number of Trustees to join the existing Board.
Becoming a Trustee of Wellsway MAT requires good communications skills and the ability to think objectively and make sound, independent judgements. Ideally previous Trustee experience would be advantageous within a charity or committee setting, although this is not essential.
In addition to the above, Wellsway MAT is particularly interested in hearing from individuals with skills or experience gained in one, or more, of the following areas:
Education, in particular but not exclusively SEND (special educational needs and disabilities)
Risk Management
Finance
Estates strategy/planning, construction
Human Resources
More generally we also seek:
A high level of understanding or interest in education
Strong business and financial acumen
