Make Your MARK: Become a Trustee

At Hailsham Academy, we are proud to be part of MARK Education Trust, where strong governance plays a key role in supporting our school’s success and the opportunities we provide for our students.

Our governors and trustees work closely with school leaders to provide strategic oversight, challenge and support, helping to ensure that every student benefits from a high‑quality education and a positive school experience.

We are currently looking to strengthen our governance community and would welcome interest from individuals with professional expertise, particularly in:

• Finance
• Audit and Risk
• Cyber Security

This is not an operational role within the school, but an opportunity to apply your skills and experience at a strategic level, contributing to the long‑term development of the school and helping to shape future success.

Becoming a governor or trustee is a rewarding way to:

• Make a meaningful difference to young people’s lives
• Support the continued success of your local school
• Develop your own experience in leadership, strategy and governance

Interested in finding out more? Please visit the Trust website or contact our Trust Governance Manager directly to start a conversation:

We would also be grateful if you could share this opportunity within your professional networks, particularly on LinkedIn, to help us reach individuals who could make a real impact.

Thank you for your continued support of our school and for helping us ensure that every student can make their MARK.
