Trustee Vacancy
Trustees work with the executive leaders to set the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school. It holds the executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, the performance management of staff, and oversees the financial performance of the school, ensuring money is spent correctly and for the good of all pupils.
Trustees are members of our local community who care about our school and the young people we support. Being a school trustee can be a very positive experience and you don’t need to be a parent or work in education.
The Trustee board should consist of individuals with expertise in key areas such as leadership, educational improvement, finance, business, and human resources. We kindly request, therefore, that applicants provide information on how their specific skills might align with these areas of focus.
If you would like to use your skills and enthusiasm to support the ongoing success of our school we would love to hear from you. As at October 2025, the Trustees of Penwortham Priory Academy currently have vacancies for two parent trustees.
If you wish to put yourself forward as an appointed trustee or would like further information, please contact Mrs Sue Spencer, Clerk to Trustees, via email s.spencer@priory.lancs.sch.uk or call 01772 320250. You can also visit the Trustees page on this website.
