· Attending hybrid meetings (typically four full Board meetings per year), reviewing papers, and preparing effective questions for senior executive leaders in advance.
· Joining at least one subcommittee, such as Education Standards & Performance, and acting as a Link Trustee in a specialist area (e.g., safeguarding or SEND).
· Contributing actively to the Trust’s strategic planning and maintaining oversight of executive-led initiatives.
· Building strong, collaborative relationships with senior leaders, fellow Trustees, and governance professionals.
· Providing constructive challenge and support to the Chief Executive and senior team.
· Committing to ongoing learning and development, staying informed about sector developments and best practice.

· Develop high-level skills in strategic planning, governance, financial oversight, and Board decision-making within a values-led organisation.
