Academy Trustee

Would you like to make a rewarding voluntary contribution to young people in education by being a member of the Torquay Girls Grammar School Board of Trustees?

You would be joining at an exciting time as we are at a new stage in our development, so will have the chance to shape the strategic direction of the Trust. 

Being a Trustee has many benefits that can be enjoyable, stimulating and rewarding:

• Developing your professional skills and experience. This can be strategic planning, financial planning, and team working, all of which are valued by employers and can assist your own career development 

• Working with likeminded people who share a common goal

• Building relationships and networks in your community 

• A sense of achievement in knowing your support is helping children and young people in your community

Anyone over the age of 18 can be a Trustee and you do not need to be a parent. Please support us by sharing this with friends, relatives, or anyone you think may have a passion or interest in strengthening our communities through exceptional education.

Please do not be put off by thinking that you have to have specialist expertise or knowledge. Enthusiasm and interest are much more important and there is training and support available to help you, including an induction programme along with experienced Trustees to support you.
