Trustee at The Pinnacle Learning Trust

Founded in 2017, The Pinnacle Learning Trust is a multi-academy trust established by The Hathershaw College and Oldham Sixth Form College. Since February 2019, our trust has also included Werneth Primary School following re-brokerage from another trust. In April 2023, Broadfield Primary School, a local primary school, chose to convert to academy status and join us and, more recently in April 2024, we welcomed Alexandra Park Junior School.

Our vision is of a high achieving and locally-focused trust with academies in all phases of education.  With an understanding of the proud and vibrant communities we serve and a rigorous culture of high aspirations and strong academic performance, our focus is on creating opportunities that are transformational, improving the life chances of all our children and young people.

We currently educate approximately 4550 children and young people between the ages of 2 and 18.

Trustees

Our trust board is made up of a number of experienced professionals who make decisions about the strategic direction of our trust. Trustees are both charity trustees and company directors.

Further information on our current trustees can be accessed on the website here  and more  information on the role of a trustee is included in our governance handbook which is available upon request.

What does the role offer?

Sitting on the board of trustees provides experience of working at a strategic level and a chance to develop your own personal skills.

As a Trustee you are able to:

Use your own unique experience of education, employment and life beyond school to inform conversations and:

• Develop and utilise your skills in a board-level environment
• Make valuable contributions to education and to your community
• Make a huge difference to the future of children and young people by driving school improvement and striving to get the best possible education for them

There is also access to a programme of free training in respect of education and governance matters and a range of support and guidance to help you fulfil your role.

It is important to us that we have a range of different views and perspectives on our trust board and that we reflect the communities that we serve. As such, we welcome applications from individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Although we have no current vacancies on the board at present, if you are a committed individual who would like to make a difference and would be keen to be considered for a trustee role, please complete the form below  in order to register your interest, as we may have a post to suit you in the future.
