Voluntary role At Wildwood Nature School we have a very alternative approach to primary education. Our children spend over half of their time outside in nature and we prioritise their emotional well-being above all else. We are very small, with up to 30 children, all learning together in a mixed age environment. We are now seeking a Trustee (Governor) to join our Board and support the development of the school as we grow. This is a really exciting opportunity, not just to shape the future of our tiny school, but to evolve a new child-centred approach to primary education. About the role This is an unpaid, voluntary position. Trustees meet three times a year (one meeting per term), with occasional additional input as needed. Trustees are expected to act in accordance with our Trustee Code of Conduct and to uphold the values and ethos of Wildwood Nature School. Experience we're looking for We are particularly interested in candidates who have held senior leadership roles in independent schools, such as: Headteacher Deputy or Assistant Head Bursar or senior operational leader Who should apply Just as important as experience is a genuine alignment with our vision for a different kind of education - one that honours childhood, prioritises well being, and recognises the profound value of time spent in nature. We are committed to ensuring that our trustee body is a reflection of the wider community which we serve and to increasing diversity in school governance, and warmly encourage applications from people from Black, Asian and other ethnic backgrounds, as well as from other under represented groups. The role The trustees at Wildwood Nature School are collectively responsible for the quality, safety and strategic direction of the school. As well as supporting the other trustees with overseeing that Wildwood provides a high-quality education and keeps pupils safe and well, we need particular support with the business and operational realities of running an independent school.
