Board of Members

Inclusive Boards is delighted to be supporting Wickersley Partnership Trust in their search for new Members to join their Board of Members. Wickersley Partnership Trust (WPT) exists to further the interests of the young people that it serves. They believe that education empowers and enriches. WPT strive to be an outstanding group of schools where students have a highly positive educational experience that prepares them well for the next stage of education and provides them with opportunities to develop socially, emotionally, academically and physically to achieve the highest possible standards. The climate for learning is characterised by embedded inclusivity and high expectations from the whole Trust community for the Trust learning community.

​​​​​Members are essential to the integrity of an academy trust governance structure. There are some critical decisions that sit with the members. They must remain informed of trust performance and be clear on how to interact with the trust board. Academy trusts are set up as charitable companies and so must have members. Members have a similar role to shareholders of a company limited by shares. 

​​​​WPT are seeking three new Members to join their Board of Members. They are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with experience in ONE of the following areas: 

• Understanding and experience of the education landscape, particularly from a further education or higher education perspective.

• Financial acumen, with experience in the banking, investment or financial services sectors.

• Corporate social responsibility and sustainability.

This is a voluntary position, WPT will reimburse travel costs and other direct reasonable expenses incurred.
