Members of the Board of Governors

Due to the upcoming retirement of long - serving Board members, the Governors of George Heriot’s Trust seek to appoint four new Governors to join the Board during the course of the 2025 - 26 academic year.

The Board of Governors of George Heriot’s Trust is responsible for the implementation of the Trust’s charitable purposes, including overseeing the operation of George Heriot’s School. A key provision of the Trust is the support for bereaved children provided through its charitable foundation.

Governors are appointed for a three -year term, and each contributes to the Board with specialist expertise and collective decision-making. 

Governor roles are voluntary and the ability and willingness to commit time to working collaboratively with our Leadership team is of huge importance to us.  

To help ensure a broad range of experience on our Board, we particularly welcome candidates with professional expertise in the areas of Charities and Fundraising, Education Leadership, Accountancy, Law and Safeguarding.

For further information about the role of Governor and details on how to apply, please visit the “Work With Us” section of our website:  George Heriots School

Closing date for applications is Friday 28th November 2025
