Headteacher job summary
The Gloucestershire Learning Alliance (GLA) is a 2-11 trust with 8 primary schools in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire. The GLA successfully runs three nurseries with two further schools having privately run nurseries on-site. We are a DFE sponsor and have 2 sponsored schools within the trust. We have also opened 2 brand new free schools and are due to open a 3rd in Bishops Cleeve in 2024.
The GLA family:
• Badsey First School
• Bishops Cleeve Primary Academy
• Longford Park Primary Academy
• Great Oldbury Primary Academy
• Greenacres Primary Academy (due to open in 2024)
• Springbank Primary Academy
• Rowanfield Junior School
• Rowanfield Infant School
• Tredington Primary School
The GLA vision of “Outstanding Outcomes for Children” underpins the school vision which is built on the following pillars:
• The best for everyone, to get the best from everyone
• Knowledge to empower
• Education with ambition
• Leadership at every level
• Continuous improvement
Why Co-headship? The 2 Rowanfield Schools are registered as individual schools which brings some financial benefit, however we have been running the school as a primary school since 2017. The current head teacher is moving across to another GLA school (Springbank), so the current experienced Rowanfield Deputy is stepping up to headship as part of a co-headship model in September. This is an exciting opportunity for a supported headship role.
Being a co-head teacher, you will not only be part of your own school community working across both schools, you will play a significant part in the GLA community as well. As a member of the GLA Executive Team, of course your primary focus will be the quality of teaching and learning for our children, along with supporting their parents, your staff and the whole school community. However, being part of the Executive Team, you will also contribute to the wider aims of the Trust, along with supporting and working with your contemporaries across the GLA all with the main focus to provide outstanding outcomes for our children. We allocate 18 days in each academic year for our head teachers to provide support with our Trust priorities and we have seen the huge benefit this brings in terms of Trust development and improvement. In order to allow our leadership to work in this way, as a Trust, our central shared services team provides support and undertakes essential workstreams such as financial management, HR systems and processes, estates management and health and safety, which can often take away the focus from education for head teachers in other schools. Our model of working not only provides huge benefit to leaders but also has demonstrable impact on our whole Trust improvement journey.
If you feel you have the necessary experience and qualification and would like to join our Trust, we’ll look forward to receiving your application.
In joining our trust, we will offer you:
• a warm and welcoming school community;
• working as part of a vibrant executive team;
• the opportunity to join a growing Multi Academy Trust;
• a commitment to developing your CPD and further career opportunities including personal mentoring/ coaching and support.
