Character: developing students into well rounded young people who we can be confident in to "do the right thing when no-one is looking".
Perspective: how our students fit into the world around them, how they appropriately challenge wrongs, and promote what is right. Students are open minded, compassionate and promote the differences found in all of us.
We are looking for someone inspirational, to provide professional vision and leadership for the Academy. You will drive and secure success, ensure high quality outcomes, and embed the highest of standards whilst also continually promoting a positive culture.
