Leaders have created an inclusive and caring school environment, with a strong focus on personal development and Education with Character. Students are
respectful and behave well; lessons are calm and free from disruption.

The new leader will be inheriting a school with strong foundations, a broad and ambitious curriculum, a willing and engaged staffing body, and a huge amount of potential.

The values of the school are evident within the classroom and beyond - with good behaviour, respectful relationships and pupils enjoying their learning. The next
Principal needs to be committed to continuing to build this positive culture whilst securing further improvements in academic standards.

The incoming Principal will have the commitment, determination and empathy to bring pupils, parents, staff and the wider community with them, as they strive to move the schools into its next phase of improvement, with the vision to make the Academy exceptional. They will be committed to the highest standards and expectations for all pupils, including and especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

United Learning is a big group of schools – with over 60,000 pupils and more than 9,000 staff – so we have the capacity to support you educationally and operationally. At the same time, we are values led and base all that we do on good relationships, so you will be joining a big family.

Reporting directly to the Regional Director, you will be supported both personally and professionally, benefitting from the strength of a national Group who will
support your development and that of your staff and school.

We are committed to fairness, diversity and inclusion. We are currently working hard to improve representation of black, Asian and minority ethnic leaders at headship level and to raise our proportion of women leaders to match their representation in our wider workforce.

Whoever you are, if you have a strong track record of improving young people’s education and a drive to do more, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
