Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our team of internal subject/aspect directors for Co-op Academies Trust. We are looking for an outstanding practitioner within the primary phase who has a proven track record of effective curriculum design which has led to improvements in pupils’ outcomes across the wider curriculum. This is a crucial role within our school improvement strategy to add capacity to our existing Director of Curriculum (primary).
The successful candidate will need to know the wider curriculum and provision in detail including the National Curriculum and Education Inspection Framework expectations including the methodology of an inspection ‘Deep Dive’. Co-op Academies Trust will be committed to developing your leadership skills. You will already be an expert curriculum leader who currently teaches. You will be able to demonstrate the positive difference you have made to children’s knowledge and understanding both in your own class and across your school.
You will be supported and guided by our Director of Curriculum (Primary), working with our primary academies and their curriculum leaders on developing the curriculum and provision across the Trust. You will be responsible for raising standards and ensuring all academies have a high quality curriculum strategy in place which aligns fully with Ofsted’s expectations. You will do this by working alongside leaders and teachers that work in our Co-op Academies.
This is an interesting and exciting challenge to improve wider outcomes across the Trust. If you would like to talk about this role further, please contact Karine Hendley by emailing karine.hendley@coopacademies.co.uk in the first instance.
Location: Flexible, either working in West Yorkshire (Leeds, Bradford and Kirklees), or travelling between our academies in Manchester, Merseyside, Stoke and Staffordshire, depending on the successful candidate’s location.

Captivating minds through co-operation
Through a great education we are changing the lives of young people. Built on the same principles as all cooperatives across the world, we work with academies to empower teachers and young people to work together for a better education and a better community.
We have been recognised by the Sutton Trust Charity and the Education Policy Institute as one of the top performing multi-academy trusts for disadvantaged students. What makes our Trust unique is that we are sponsored by the Co-op Group.
That close relationship means that we benefit from all of the business expertise that has seen the Co-op grow to one of the most respected, ethically driven and successful businesses in the country. Popular with students, parents and teachers, we began in 2010 with just two academies. One in Manchester and one in Stoke-on-Trent. Two years later, in 2012, we began to work with a cluster of academies in Leeds and by 2014 we had five academies in Leeds; made up of one secondary and four primary academies. Pragmatic in our approach to growth we worked closely and co-operatively to improve all of our academies. We now have 28 academies across Greater Manchester, Stoke-on-Trent, The Wirral and West Yorkshire.
Our Values
Co-op Academies Trust is committed to the values shared by cooperatives everywhere:
Self-help – we support learners, parents, carers and staff to help themselves
Self-responsibility – we encourage learners, parents, carers and staff to take responsibility for, and answer to their actions
Democracy – we give our learners, parents, carers and staff a say in the way we run our schools
Equality – we believe that the voice of each individual should be heard
Equity – we run our schools in a way that is fair and unbiased
Solidarity – we share interests and common purposes with our learners, parents, carers and staff, and with other schools in the communities we serve
We strive to demonstrate the following ethical values in everything we do:
Openness – we believe in being open with colleagues in our schools and beyond, children and their families, sharing information and ideas to raise standards and life chances
Honesty – we act in a professional and respectful manner in our dealings with everyone
Social responsibility – we maximise our impact on the people in our communities while minimising our footprint on the world
Caring for others – we treat everyone as we wish to be treated ourselves, understanding that children only have one childhood
We use our simple ‘Ways of Being Co-op’ to demonstrate our values:
• Do what matters most
• Be yourself, always
• Show you care
• Succeed together
