What skills and experience we're looking for
Our new Headteacher will have a key role to play within and beyond the school, being visible and accessible to colleagues within the academy, across the Trust, and to parents and carers. You’ll build on the achievements of recent years, harnessing our sense of common purpose and setting a course to be exceptional across the board. We’re looking for you to bring strong, positive and clear leadership, with a sustained emphasis on continuous improvement and establishing a culture of excellence as standard.
This is an excellent opportunity for a dynamic, committed and positive Headteacher to lead a strong and skilled staff team who provide a deeply child-focused and rounded education. Key to your success will be an inspiring and collaborative leadership style, with excellent communication skills and the ability to build a strong collective vision. You must have a track record of inclusive leadership which has resulted in sustained achievement, and will understand the importance of building supportive and flexible teams. We’re looking for someone who can exemplify high standards in every area; but since we believe that outstanding teaching and learning underpin the highest quality education, a strength in this aspect would be a definite asset.
What the school offers its staff
You’ll benefit from comprehensive support from the Trust (including peer networks and CPD), plus committed and dedicated teaching colleagues, and enthusiastic pupils who come to school ready and excited to learn. If you bring a strong mix of professional excellence and personal commitment to the very best outcomes of children – and you want to bring your talent to a trust that shares and lives these values – it’s an opportunity not to be missed.
Flexible working opportunities
We want the best for our staff, and have frequent opportunities to listen to employees to see what works and what could be better. Our culture is open, honest and collaborative. A happy staff is a well performing staff.
Your wellbeing and happiness is of the utmost importance to us. You will have access to high quality professional development provided by our own Lead Professionals nationally renowned educationalists and through access to national qualifications.
Amongst many benefits, you’ll find a positive approach to staff wellbeing and work-life balance from the Trust and our schools; an annual ‘Thank You’ day for all staff in recognition of the hard work and dedication shown by our employees; a highly attractive pension plan for all teaching and non-teaching staff.
The Trust has a continuing focus on workload reduction and staff wellbeing, which is a major annual focus of the Trust through our staff charter and Trust wellbeing plan. This includes non-contact time for tasks which increase workload at specific times, such as subject leader activities and attending training during the school day.
