This is an exciting time to join Hightown, following a successful Ofsted in November 2023 and as we prepare to open our brand new nursery provision, in a completely remodelled Early Years wing.

What's special about our Trust?

At Inspire Learning Partnership, we believe that people are the key to delivering exceptional education for every child.

Our offer to you:

• The opportunity to work in settings which benefit from being part of a multi-academy trust that is large enough to effectively support schools but small enough to know and care for them individually, and the people who work and learn within them, well. We take staff wellbeing seriously.
• A competitive salary and longer school holidays than maintained schools, including a two- week October half-term break
• A variety of career pathways and bespoke professional development. We invest in people

• Recognition of continuous service with Local Authorities and other Academy Trusts
• CEO Awards to recognise those amazing everyday achievements

• Is interested in a research approach, including experimentation and sharing
• Believes that improvement is always possible
