Northern Education Trust (NET) is a charitable education Trust with a good track record for school improvement. The Trust sponsors 30 academies; 17 secondary and 13 primaries across the North of England in fourteen Local Authority regions.


Denton’s academic performance has seen a remarkable turnaround in just two academic years, with exam outcomes doubling and now above the national averages. The 2025 performance tables data indicates that Denton was outperformed only by two selective schools in Tameside in terms of the percentage of students who pass English and Maths at a Grade 5 or higher — placing it third overall on key attainment measures and the highest-performing non-selective school in the borough.


Perhaps most significantly, Denton is on track to be named Tameside’s most improved school for the second year running — reflecting the hard work of staff and students, and the transformative impact of support from NET, a nationally recognised multi-academy trust with a strong record of driving rapid improvement in schools.


Northern Education Trust offers:

• The opportunity to work and progress across the family of schools, should you wish in the future;
  
  
  


• The chance to apply for leadership roles in the Deeps structure taking on a whole school leadership project;
  
  
  


• The support and expertise of Director of Subjects.
  
  
  


• A full and detailed programme of support and development for all;
  
  
  


• A further comprehensive programme of professional development, including leadership, provided through the NET Staff College.
  
  
  

Employee benefits

• Free flu vaccinations
  
  
  


• Free onsite parking

In accordance with Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024, an online search will be completed on all shortlisted applicants prior to interview. Any relevant information will be discussed further with the applicant during the interview process.


The Trust is committed to safer recruitment practice and pre-employment checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed. All posts are subject to enhanced disclosure and barring service checks. We expect all adults to share our commitment to safeguarding and the health and wellbeing of our pupils.
