Principle Responsibilities of Public Life
As charity Trustees, we embrace the Seven Principles of public life (‘The Nolan Principles’),
which provide an ethical framework for the personal behaviour of governors, namely:
• Selflessness: Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest.
They should not do so in order to gain financial or other benefits for themselves, their
family or their friends.
• Integrity: Holders of public office should not place themselves under any financial or
other obligation to outside individuals or organisations that might seek to influence them
in the performance of their official duties.
• Objectivity: In carrying out public business, including making public appointments,
awarding contracts, or recommending individuals for rewards and benefits, holders of
public office should make choices on merit.
• Accountability: Holders of public office are accountable for their decisions and actions
to the public and must submit themselves to whatever scrutiny is appropriate to their
office.
• Openness: Holders of public office should be as open as possible about all the
decisions and actions that they take. They should give reasons for their decisions and
restrict information only when the wider public interest clearly demands it.
• Honesty: Holders of public office have a duty to declare any private interests relating to
their public duties and to take steps to resolve any conflicts arising in a way that
protects the public interest.
• Leadership: Holders of public office should promote and support these principles by
leadership and example.

Holy Trinity School is a thriving, all-through school in Kidderminster, providing high-quality education for students from Reception to Sixth Form. With a history spanning over 120 years, the school has evolved significantly from its independent school heritage, combining traditional values with modern approaches to ensure the best outcomes for our students. As a single academy trust, we are committed to continuous development and are seeking dedicated individuals to join our Governing Board to help shape the future of the school.

We are particularly keen to hear from individuals with expertise in accounting or financial management, as financial oversight is a key aspect of governance. However, we have capacity to take more than one new governor and welcome interest from professionals across a variety of fields who are passionate about education and wish to contribute their skills to the strategic leadership of the school.

No prior experience in school governance is required, as full training and support will be provided. This is a rewarding opportunity to work alongside a committed team, supporting the school’s leadership and ensuring that Holy Trinity continues to provide an excellent education for its students.

If you are interested in making a meaningful impact in education and would like to find out more about the role, please email Mrs K Roth, PA to the Headteacher, [email protected]

We look forward to welcoming new governors who can help drive the success of Holy Trinity School forward.
