The Board of Trustees holds the CEO, executive team and academy leaders to account to successfully deliver against the Trust’s mission and strategic plan. They ensure an excellent education and level of safeguarding for students across the academies, a clear strategic direction, and the setting and monitoring of performance benchmarks. Trustees also have overall responsibility for ensuring that Shaw Education Trust complies with all legal and regulatory requirements, that resources are managed prudently, and that governance is of the highest possible standard.

Trustees actively participate in Board discussions, providing robust challenge in a constructive manner, and work well with other Board members and the leadership team. They understand the strategic nature of the Board’s role and how this differs from the role of executive leaders.

It is likely that candidates will have had some senior experience as either executive or non- executive in a large organisation, although first time Non-Executives / Trustees are welcome to apply.

All candidates should show integrity, honesty and compassion, and be great team players who can contribute to the Board but excel individually. They should demonstrate a genuine enthusiasm and passion for the mission and values of Shaw Education Trust, and the importance of providing an outstanding education to all students, no matter their background, ability, or starting point. Candidates may be based anywhere in the UK; although an affinity or familiarity with the locations in which the Trust operates would be an advantage but is not essential. It will however be necessary to attend meetings face to face, on three or four occasions annually.

Further details about the role

About us:

GORSE have established a long-standing culture of excellence where ‘high challenge, high support’ is commonplace. Our trust will be made up of 15 establishments by September 2025. In addition to this, we also operate GORSE SCITT and Leeds Teaching School Hub, important establishments in their own right. Ensuring that each element of the trust, including the central team, performs at its best to ensure all children, especially those whose who are disadvantaged, have the opportunity to secure the Gift of Choice, is the central mission of GORSE.

We believe that sport plays an integral role in the development of all young people. It leads to improved fitness, health and well-being, concentration span, attitude and academic achievement. Most importantly, however, we believe sport can give our young people experiences they would not otherwise have.

In order to enable our young people to experience the most wide-ranging opportunities possible, we run the “BIG 3” programme. The BIG 3 centres around three sports –Volleyball, Rowing and Karate – which we believe contribute to this trust-wide focus on improving the lives of the students in our care. These sports offer students with different skills and natural abilities, the opportunity to try something completely different and to rise to the very top of their sport as young athletes.

In memory of Ruth Gorse, a highly respected PE teacher and player at Leeds Volleyball Club, The Ruth Gorse Academy and Leeds Volleyball Club created a partnership to launch an extracurricular volleyball programme. As the initial programme was successful, volleyball quickly spread across the Trust resulting in The GORSE Volleyball Club. Volleyball is now part of the PE curriculum for years 3-11 and is supported by extracurricular clubs at each academy. Director of Volleyball, Elaine Brown, oversees The Gorse Volleyball Club and ensures each student across the Trust has an opportunity to give volleyball a go!
