Chair of Methodist Academies and Schools Trust (MAST)

The Methodist Church

The Methodist Academies and Schools Trust (MAST) is seeking a new Chair of Trustees from October 2024 to lead its next period of life.

MAST is a highly effective body which sits under the Methodist Council. As the delegated body, it is responsible for the standards and ethos of 66 state funded Methodist primary schools in England; 26 of these are sole Methodist schools and 40 ecumenical, many in partnership with the Church of England.

As one part of the Methodist Education family, MAST works closely with our two Methodist Multi Academy Trusts, Methodist Independent Schools Trust (MIST) and Southlands Methodist Trust. Outside of this we have a strong and important role to play with the DfE and other statutory bodies.

MAST is seeking a Chair with experience in education and who is not averse to facing challenges. The new Chair will bring enthusiasm to guide the Trust through a period of change as we watch over our schools with love so that they flourish within their communities.

Closing date for applications Sunday 15th September 2024

Interviews will be held on Wednesday, 2nd October 2024 at 27 Tavistock Square, London WC1H 9HH
