Your new school
Lift Schools is an ambitious MAT of 57 schools, 10 in the Midlands, and we pride ourselves on providing the best training and career progression. Part of Lift Schools, Greenwood Academy is a progressive secondary school who has recently appointed Daniel Opoku as Principal. Daniel brings a wealth of experience from successful leadership roles in outstanding secondaries across London.
The most recent 'Good' Ofsted at Greenwood recognised that staff take time to get to know each pupil, and leaders have created a strong community where staff and pupils look after each other and this extends beyond the school gates. Staff have built effective links with families and the wider community. We are now looking for a Head of Geography to join us. With a new Principal in post, this is an exciting time. Daniel has aspirations to ensure that Greenwood Academy is one of the best schools in the country within five years.
