Future Generation Trust (FGT) is based in Staffordshire in the West Midlands. We are an ambitious Trust who aspire to provide the best possible climate and culture within our academies that allow children to flourish. Fundamentally we are about excellence in the primary sector.

Due to the planned retirement of the Trust’s existing CEO, Stuart Ayres. We wish to appoint an outstanding and dynamic CEO who will develop and deliver the strategic vision of the Trust moving forward. They will be accountable to the Trust Board for sustaining the unique identity of the Trust and delivering planned and considered growth, which may be achieved other than by increasing the number of schools.

We are particularly seeking a confident leader who values collaborative approaches across all aspects of our operation and has the energy, enthusiasm and passion to build upon the success the Trust has achieved. The successful candidate will have experience in education and ‘earnt credibility’ but not necessarily as a Headteacher, to lead on innovation and general future developments.

Should you wish to discuss the role(s) in strict confidence, please contact the Chair of the Trust Board, Fliss Dale on 07795 645140, or via email at: fliss.dale@futuregenerationtrust.co.uk or alternatively speak to our current Chief Executive Officer Stuart Ayres on 07811 756628 or via email at: stuart.ayres@futuregenerationtrust.co.uk
