Bright Futures operates 11 academies in Trafford, Manchester and Blackpool. We are proud to have a diverse group of seven primary schools. We have one 11-16 secondary school, one 11-18 selective grammar school, a specialist primary school and a 11-19 specialist school providing for the needs of young people with complex learning difficulties and disabilities. You can find out more about us here.
The role of a governor is to support and challenge the running of the academy, working with Principals and other leaders, in order to ensure that the academy is operating effectively in all respects.
We are looking for governors who can commit some of their free time to making a positive difference in the lives of children, families, colleagues and communities, in keeping with the Trust’s vision and values. There are no specific qualifications for the role - every governing board needs a balance and diversity of knowledge, skills and experience. You don't need to be a parent or to have a background in education; in fact we we would welcome applicants who can bring fresh business, third or public sector perspectives. We are also keen that our Local Governing Boards represent the diversity of the communities we serve.
