Trustees

Welcome from the Chairs of Trustees

At Light Hall School, all Trustees are unpaid volunteers who are passionate about supporting our students to achieve their very best. Whilst we do not play a role in the day to day management of the school or make decisions requiring educational expertise, we work closely with the Headteacher, Senior Leadership Team and staff to help shape the school’s strategic direction, ensuring accountability and upholding the values of our school community.

My role involves attending committee meetings, making scheduled visits and drawing on our diverse backgrounds and professional experience to offer challenge, insight and support. As a Board we celebrate the school’s many successes, reflect on areas for improvement and work to ensure that Light Hall School continues to thrive in an ever-changing world.

I am proud to serve as the Chair of the Trust and committed to working in partnership with fellow Trustees to help Light Hall School flourish. I believe strongly in the importance of education, community along with opportunity. I am honoured to contribute to the future of a school that inspires excellence and ambition in all its students.

Would You Like to Become a Parent or Community Trustee?

Becoming a Trustee is a significant commitment, but an incredibly rewarding one.

The role involves attending 4 full Trust Board meetings each year. You may also be invited to join additional committees, which meet once per term, or take on a link role within the school, such as Pupil Premium, Training, Careers or SEND. Trustees also play an important role in supporting the school at events and functions.

The committees include:

  • Curriculum
  • Finance, Estates & Risk
  • Pay Committee

Meetings are held in person at school and most meetings begin at 5:00 pm.

If you’re interested, we’d love to hear from you!
