Trustee - Voluntary Position
Harlands Primary School is a Stand-Alone Academy on the north side of Haywards Heath. We are a two-form entry school with an energetic Senior Leadership Team and the highest aspirations for all our children.
We are looking to appoint a new Trustee to join our Board and welcome applications from the wider community as well as from among our school families. We are keen to hear from volunteers who have a genuine interest in supporting our team’s ambitious agenda and representing the school’s increasingly diverse and EAL community. Previous experience in education is not essential.
Information about Harlands and about the role of a Trustee (and the current Trustees) is available both on this page, and on the Academy Pages of our website. https://www.harlandsprimaryschool.org/Academy-Information/
Currently we would like to appoint someone interested in joining our School Improvement committee, but all Trustees contribute across the full range of our responsibilities, including finance, budgets and resources as well as audit and risk.
We can also arrange an informal conversation with our Chair to provide more detail: please contact us on the email below if you would like to arrange this.
If you are interested in playing a part in our continuing progress, please complete the short application form and forward this: fao our Chair, Michael Swiggs c/o clerktogovernors@harlandsedtrust.org.uk

Harlands is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects the staff team, including Trustees, to share this commitment. The post is subject to a satisfactory reference and DBS checks. We welcome applications regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or religion.
