We are a growing, forward thinking and innovative Trust with a shared ethos, vision and values for a personalised child centred approach. We are committed and invested in “Learning together, to be the best we can be” and it is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young adults and their families.

Our school is on an exciting improvement journey. It’s a complex environment with plenty to do and a team that needs strong, steady and inspiring leadership. If you’re someone who sees challenge as opportunity, who can bring clarity where there is noise, and who takes pride in building high-performing teams, you will find this role hugely rewarding.

You will join a committed, passionate staff community who work every day to improve the life chances of our children and young people. Your leadership will directly support our mission to ensure every pupil can thrive and achieve their very best.
