Further details about the role
Our Curmudgeonly Eccentric Oddball has decided to focus his diminishing wit, energy and time to tending his garden, in particular to nurturing his Chrysanthemums, Echinacea and Orchids.
And so we find ourselves on the hunt for a CEO.
We are a small MAT (two special schools) with a penchant for finding our own paths and drawing our own maps, seeking a like-minded leader.
So…
Are you a Cheerful, Extroverted Optimist with a Confident Expansive Outlook? Perhaps a Choreographerof Educational Objectives for a Charismatic and Empathetic Organisation. Maybe you're a Collision Evasion Overseer navigating the pitfalls? Or a Clairvoyant of Esoteric Orientation? It could simply be that you're an omelette fan with a taste for CheeseEggs and Onions!
By now you are probably realising that we are not entirely sure what CEO stands for and what a CEO does. But we know what we stand for – we stand for families at the front and centre of educational provision. And we know what we do – we Cultivate Excellence and Opportunity for our astonishing young learners.
We invite you to join us and define this unique role in our unique organisation.
