Aletheia Academies Trust will provide collaborative support, enabling you to access resources, implement innovative practices and drive strategic improvements in teaching, learning, and student outcomes.
As the school grows, so will your role, with ample opportunities for professional development and leadership expansion. There is an expectation that as the school expands, the Headteacher will make accelerated progress through the leadership pay scale.
