Principal job summary
Principal
Ravens Academy
We are looking for a highly motivated Principal, with a proven track record, working in a good or outstanding school, that can lead Ravens Academy through the next stage of its journey. We are looking for a leader who can uphold and embrace the consistency of high expectations Ravens Academy have become accustomed to.
This is an exciting time for Ravens Academy as we continue our journey as a Good Academy. During our recent Ofsted inspection in February 2024, Ravens Academy was graded as a Good School from a previous Inadequate Judgment. This was a monumental step forward for pupils, families and staff at Ravens and we now embark on our journey from good to outstanding.
You will have the opportunity to engage and collaborate with our other academies across our Trust during these exciting times, as we learn from each other and improve together. As a Trust, we have recently achieved our first Outstanding Secondary Academy status, will you be the first dynamic leader to deliver Ravens as our first Outstanding Primary Academy through your visionary leadership?
The position will suit an existing experienced senior leader with experience of delivering exceptional standards, who can lead this academy to future success. You will have the opportunity to work with the Director of Primary Education to shape the way in which you will lead the school to positively impact the educational development of all pupils.
If you are the visionary leader we need, we want to hear from you. For more information and to apply, please visit our career portal.

Ravens is an incredible Academy which belongs to the Academy Transformation Trust family of academies. We believe that every child, every person, is capable of many amazing things. It is therefore vital that we give our children as many different experiences as possible to ensure they are well equipped to succeed in today’s rapidly changing society.
Our curriculum is carefully designed with the children’s specific needs and interests in mind. It is built on the firm foundations of providing our children with excellent English and Maths skills. As a school, we also seek to expand our pupils’ current reality by broadening their horizons, enabling them to realise that there is a wider world out there and encouraging them to be aspirational.
We are committed to helping our pupils make links across themes and subject disciplines, by providing a cohesive learning journey. We believe the curriculum should be connected in a meaningful way, evidencing clear progression and should demonstrate a consistent approach throughout school.
Our expectations are consistently high; not just of us as educators but of the children and families that join together to constitute a vibrant learning community.
Ravens is about teamwork and about forming binding, positive relationships built on mutual trust. Children thrive here in a happy and nurturing environment. Our staff encourage a love of learning and work closely with parents to create a sharing community where all feel a sense of belonging.
Our children are polite and friendly. Visitors to the school often comment on the friendly and welcoming environment that characterises our community.
