Vice Principal job summary

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 and you will be committed to facilitating that ambition.
This is a genuinely exciting opportunity for an ambitious leader who is keen to develop their skills. The Principal is also Regional Director for the Trust and has trained as an Ofsted Inspector. This means that there are some days when the person will be the face for staff, students and parents you will therefore lead on some days and act like a Head of School. They will also work with governors too, all of whom share the vision for the school to be exceptional in all areas to help secure the levels of social mobility that we want to give our children. Whilst not a prerequisite, this post holder is likely to have ambitions to headship and this role will undoubtedly give them the experience and in school training/coaching to achieve this should that be their focus, particularly in our growing Trust.
Some key areas provisionally assigned to this new role are: Leadership and line management of the pastoral and behaviour teams in the academy, Safeguarding, Quality Assurance of this area and of the wider school; SEF; Middle Leader development; research, line management of PSHE/CEIAG; staff well-being and line management of some subject areas and of SEN. Training can be provided for areas where candidates are less strong currently and we are also keen to hear from great leaders who, as yet, have specialised in other areas but feel that they can identify with the plans for and purpose of the school.
