The post holder will help shape and drive the five-year strategic vision of the school and write the school’s SEF to monitor our work against our plans. They will work hard to ensure that all children in the school excel from whatever their starting point, working with other leaders in the Trust to share ideas and practice. This is a role where we are looking for someone who always wants more for the children that we serve.
This is a genuinely exciting opportunity for an ambitious leader who is keen to develop their skills. The Principal is also Executive Principal for the Trust and an Ofsted inspector.
