What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for a new Principal to join us at Harris City Academy Crystal Palace, an Outstanding academy located in South London, to join us in September 2024.
As Principal, you will be pivotal in maintaining our high standards of excellence, and committed to championing the needs of our most disadvantaged students. You'll be working at the forefront of modern education, harnessing the power of expert teaching to provide an exceptional learning experience.
You will also oversee Harris City Academy Crystal Palace Teaching School Hub, responsible for delivering professional teaching development to schools within the designated areas of Croydon, Sutton, Epsom and Ewell region. We are part of a wider network of Teaching School Hubs nationally, with a vision to strengthen school improvement through effective partnerships with every school in our region.
We are proud to be a part of the Harris Federation, the leading large multi-academy trust in the country, and you will be joining over 80 highly experienced school leaders, all of whom are committed to working together to transform lives across London and Essex. Collaboration is core to our success and none of our academies work in isolation so you will continuously be able to share best practices with other academy leaders. We have a reputation for investing in and developing successful senior leaders; our track record of performance demonstrates the impact our academy leaders have on delivering transformative change.
As a founding member of the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT), the Harris Federation is at the forefront of evolving teacher and leader development through cutting-edge research, shaping the design and delivery of our high-quality professional development programmes.
Whether you are an accomplished Principal or aspiring to progress to Principalship, this role may be the perfect fit for you. For those considering their first Principal role, we offer comprehensive support, including individual mentoring from an established Executive Principal. Experienced school leaders can benefit from clear development pathways to Executive Principalship, along with the opportunity to complete your NPQEL.
