Brilliant schools don’t happen by chance.
A child’s experience at school is fundamental to their life chances. Brilliant schools help children reach their potential, form positive relationships, equip them with confidence, skills and knowledge and makes a substantial contribution to the enjoyment of their childhood. In Broughton and Cockermouth, we are extremely lucky to have such brilliant schools. The recently expanded Learning for Life Trust includes three – Broughton Primary School, Cockermouth School and Fairfield Primary School.
Brilliant schools don’t happen by chance. They happen because the schools have talented and hard-working staff, great parents and a supportive community. They also have Trustees (once known as School Governors) who support the schools to keep them brilliant and strive to get even better.
We are looking to recruit new Trustees to become part of the Learning for Life Trust. This a voluntary role. This is a fantastic opportunity to influence the direction of the schools and ensure the standards of the schools in the Trust are maintained and improved. The Learning for Life Trust is also keen to consider how it can help and support other schools, by becoming part of the Trust.
You don’t need to know loads about Education. We’ll help you with that. We are looking for people from a variety of background, who have different skills and experiences to challenge and support the school in lots of different ways, although we are specifically looking for people with Financial and Legal skills and experience at this stage.
Being a Trustee is really fulfilling. You will be investing in the next generation and supporting your development by being part of the Trustee Board. If you’d like to know more or apply to be a Trustee, please drop us a line or send us your CV and we’ll be in touch. (clerk@learningforlifetrust.co.uk). Thanks for reading.
