Headteacher

Based in the heart of Reading, Cranbury College is a Pupil Referral Unit and Alternative Education provision supporting learners recovering from the trauma of permanent exclusion, those that unintentionally exclude themselves from education and children who cannot access school for medical reasons. Our young people range from 5-16 years old. We pride ourselves on our unwavering commitment to high standards of behaviour whilst fostering an inclusive culture and environment where every student is valued and supported in reaching their full potential. We offer a broad and engaging taught curriculum alongside an extensive extra-curricular programme, that engages our students and equips them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the 21st century.

As Headteacher, you will be joining a supportive and ambitious Trust, whose values of ‘Aiming High, Being Inclusive and Working Together’ will be the foundation of all you aspire to achieve, for yourself, your team, and your school community.

Maiden Erlegh Trust is a learning partnership of nine schools.  We are a mixed-setting multi-academy trust operating a range of primary, secondary, and specialist provisions across Berkshire and Oxfordshire. You will, therefore, have access to a broad and deep pool of expertise alongside wider support from the whole Trust team.

The ideal candidate will be a passionate and visionary leader who can build upon the school’s strengths and lead us through the next stage of our journey.  It is a role to make your own, but you will not be on your own.

Closing date: 8am, 17 May 2024

Interviews: Thursday 23 May – Friday 24 May

Applicants are advised to apply as early as possible as the Trust reserves the right to interview and appoint before the closing date.

We are an equal opportunities employer and are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.
