We are delighted that nine school and trust leaders put themselves forward for the Challenge Partners Board of Trustees,
and invite all partner headteachers and trust CEOs to
vote for their preferred candidate by lunchtime on Thursday 10 July 2025.To ensure the Board better represents the diversity of our partnership, trustees are particularly keen to appoint candidates meeting one or more of the following criteria, and you may wish to bear this in mind when choosing your preferred candidate:
- School or trust leaders from the North West, North East, and Yorkshire and the Humber where we are looking to grow our presence;
- Primary leaders;
- Serving headteachers with current direct experience of participating in our programmes and networks;
- Candidates with diverse backgrounds and experience, especially those from ethnic minority backgrounds and/or those with lived experience of educational disadvantage.
