What skills and experience we're looking for

Stourport High School was a founding school in Severn Academies Educational Trust which now consists of a family of 8 schools from across the Wyre Forest. We are an outward facing trust, with strong local relationships and a commitment to growing the next generation of brilliant school leaders. Applicants to the Headship at Stourport High School can expect to be well supported by collaboration with best practice across our schools and through leadership coaching from experienced Headteachers and senior leaders across the trust.
