What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint an Executive Headteacher, with substantial experience as a secondary Headteacher/Principal and a keen understanding of what it takes to lead multiple schools within a multi academy trust.
This is an exciting post, and the successful candidate will initially provide leadership at York High School and Inspire Academy, our newly opened alternative provision (September 2023). You will report directly to, and work closely with the Chief Executive, whilst still having the independence and agency to drive improvements across the schools. Further specialised support in areas such as SEND, school improvement, finance and HR is readily available from the Trust’s wider Central Team.
This model of Executive Leadership is proving to be successful in building leadership capacity within multi academy trusts and is in line with our philosophy of building capacity in advance of need. Our Trust is morally driven and highly ambitious to make the right decisions in the interest of our children.
You will have the best interests of children at the heart of your decision-making, with a proven track record of significant improvements in all aspects of school leadership. You will have the ability to quickly build effective working relationships at all levels, with the professional credibility required to really drive forward sustainable school improvement at pace.
You will lead at an executive level to enhance the work of school leaders in raising outcomes for pupils, both academically and personally. You will have the drive and determination to successfully collaborate in creating a culture of high expectations that raise standards.
This exciting and rewarding role would be ideal for an experienced, credible and inspiring leader, who has a great track record and the drive and determination to lead improvements across our small but growing Trust.
