Are you already a successful Primary Headteacher, a Senior LA or Trust Improvement Leader or Ofsted Inspector, looking for the next career step? Do you:
- Want to work in a coherent 2-18+ Multi Academy Trust with a shared mission underpinned by a culture of integrity and excellence?
- Believe in the power of education to transform lives, particularly for the most vulnerable children?
- Understand that keeping children happy and safe is the most important thing we do?
- Accept that context matters but understand the common characteristics of great schools?
- Value partnership and believe this can help schools further improve?
- Want to spread your expertise and influence across different schools, to more staff and more children?
- Know how to secure a culture of continuous improvement across a complex and expanding organisation?
- Want to be central to our plans for future partnership and growth?
If so, then this may be the perfect opportunity for you.
Mercia Learning Trust is a 2-18+, successful, coherent, and growing partnership of currently six schools, serving approximately 4500 children and differing communities in the south and south-west of Sheffield. Our three primary schools feed into our three secondaries, and we are committed to a locality-based approach to future partnership and growth.
We have a reputation for leading very effective and sector leading schools (including transforming standards in previously under-performing schools and establishing an exceptional free school). This work is underpinned by the right balance of school autonomy, a culture of high challenge and support, sharing best practice and alignment, the support of excellent central teams and strong leadership and governance.
The Trust is about to embark on an exciting new phase. As such we wish to appoint a Primary Improvement Director to:
1. Enhance our offer of exceptional support and challenge to existing schools so that they continue to improve.
2. Work with trust and school leaders to promote our vision and realise all aspects of our strategy for growth.
3. Provide strategic and operational support to new partner primary schools as we expand, so they experience the benefits of working with or in our trust.
