Orchard Academy Trust are looking for a new Chair of Trust to take them forward on the next stage of their journey.  You'll be working with a team of committed and enthusiastic trustees and leaders.  Training will be available as well as a hand over from the existing Chair.

I must be down to a very small readership by now so you must be intrigued enough to come and meet us and find out more about the role.  Alternatively please call the Executive Head for an informal chat about the role - we are very reassuring!

Information about the school

Orchard Academy Trust is a multi-academy trust consisting of two large, successful primary schools in Maidstone - Allington Primary School and Barming Pre-School and Primary School.

Our schools act as beacons of learning for children and adults alike, inspiring self-development and nurturing growth with fun and enjoyment. This is not a one size fits all trust; we recognise that our schools have their own identities and needs. Each school has their own Headteacher and autonomy to foster individuality, together with the advantage of working as a team to provide school to school support and share excellence across the Trust.

Orchard Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants for this post will be subject to a DBS check and successful references prior to a start date. Please read the schools' Child Protection Policy which can be found in the documents below. We reserve the right to interview and appoint, prior to the advertised closing date.
