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.

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.
