You will be fully supported by the Trust CEO and Deputy CEO, the Director of School Improvement and a central services team who deliver IT, Finance, Facilities and HR under
the leadership of a COO and Chief Information Officer working collaboratively with an experienced School Business Manager.
We are delighted to present the Academy and the Trust as an opportunity to progress your career and make a real difference to a vibrant community. Please take the opportunity to meet with us to fully appreciate the potential for of this role.
