All sites are connected by a 10 minute walk and school transport. A new senior leadership structure is being introduced to further support the school improvement work that has seen academic and personal development progress. The successful candidates will have considerable senior leadership experience. They will be experienced Vice Principals and will be ready for the responsibility of running a site of 750 students. They will be committed to empowering and motivating young people to have the skills and agency to create positive and fulfilling futures through hard work, academic progress and personal growth.
