If you are ambitious, motivated and creative, with a genuine love for transforming lives through education, then we want to hear from you. We are looking for individuals to join our senior team: a leader who is driven by their values to develop a powerful educational offer, someone who sees the link between curriculum and outcomes, someone passionate about culturally enriching our students, someone who respects expertise in the classroom, someone who understands how firm pastoral structures raise young people up, someone who wants to build on the wealth we already have in our staff.

The post will require a resilient individual who will relish a challenge and not be averse to taking risks. The post holder will also be a key member of the strategic UKAT senior team, leading across Chatham Grammar and Brompton Academy.
Both Chatham Grammar and Brompton Academy have good staff teams who want to be positively led and motivated. The successful applicant will be coming to a supportive learning environment characterised by open, pragmatic leadership and management, secure in the knowledge that they will enjoy the full support and care of colleagues, and our University sponsor.
Both academies last Ofsted inspections were rated good. Overall, we have a dynamic, innovative team of professional staff who want to make a difference to the lives, aspirations and opportunities of our young people in this socially and economically deprived area.
