We are committed to improving the life chances of our young people, to optimise their feeling of self-worth, to develop their resilience and in turn their capacity to embrace the challenges that lie ahead. Above all else, we encourage pupils to be ambitious for themselves, their families and their communities.

CLPT has 16 schools, located in three different geographical regions:

- Rotherham - we currently have three primary schools

- Wolverhampton - two primary schools, three secondary schools and three special schools, including Wolverhampton Vocational and Training Centre, a special provision for Post 16 students

- Worcestershire - five special schools, including SEMH and Alternative Provisions

Our track record in school improvement is based on the creation of two and three academy School Improvement Partnerships led by highly effective Executive Headteachers, with each partnership school having their own Head of School or Headteacher and leadership structures. We aim to grow our own future senior leaders to facilitate seamless succession planning.

- has strong interpersonal skills, is approachable and a good listener

- is committed to the success and development of both students and staff

- is committed to working collaboratively across the Trust

In return we can offer:

- a friendly, caring and supportive employer who prioritises your wellbeing

- support from a highly experienced network of senior leaders and professionals

- an exciting opportunity to be part of the growth and development of the Trust

- an employer with a passion for education; encouraging staff and students alike to ‘take risks’, to develop new ideas and to innovate.
