Amplify Education is a bold multi-academy trust launching in March 2026, born from a collaboration between Cathedral Schools Trust (CST) and Trust in Learning Academies (TiLA). By bringing together 22 schools – including nursery, primary, secondary, and all-through settings – Amplify will support 12,000 pupils across Bristol and the wider area. Their mission is to build belief, expand opportunity, and strengthen citizenship for young people.
Rooted in the character and diversity of Bristol, Amplify will be the city’s largest multi-academy trust. Each school will retain its own unique identity and community ethos while being strengthened through collaboration.
The trust is seeking two Trustees to join the Board and help shape this major chapter in Bristol’s educational landscape. Trustees will hold a key strategic role, acting as the stewards of Amplify’s long-term vision. They will provide effective governance, financial oversight, and a balance of support and constructive challenge to the executive team, ensuring that as the Trust grows, it remains grounded in the organisational values.
The ideal candidates will bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and will broaden the board’s diversity of thought. You will exercise sound, independent judgement and participate constructively in board discussions. You will also demonstrate a commitment to educational equity, social justice, and inclusion.
The organisation is particularly interested in hearing from candidates with strong experience in the strategic use of one of the following:
● AI in business.
● Senior leadership within a special educational needs (SEN) environment
● Diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds to reflect the communities that the organisation serves.
Previous governance experience is not required. It’s more important to be enthusiastic about Amplify’s mission and willing to lead according to their values.
