Principal

Cromer Academy is a community school in its truest sense: it is at the heart of the area it serves, and is ambitious and determined for its young people.

The academy is in easy reach of some of the most spectacular beaches and countryside in the UK, but this is no sleepy rural school. Since joining the Trust we have seen results rise year on year, with the school now second in the county for pupil progress – pipped to the post only by our own Hethersett Academy. Your job will not be to settle for second best.

The academy was recently rated Good by Ofsted with Outstanding ratings for leadership and management, and for personal development, behaviour and welfare. You will want to improve on that, raising teaching and outcomes to the highest levels, while maintaining the school’s excellent and friendly atmosphere and community engagement.

As part of the Inspiration Trust, the academy benefits from a wide range of support. We are introducing a knowledge-rich curriculum across our schools, with a nationally-recognised team of subject specialist leaders acting as catalyst. Together with our school subject leaders they are shaping a move from late-stage intervention to confident, broad curricula from nursery up.
Our professional finance, human resources, estates and operations teams coordinate work for all our academies, allowing school staff – and resources – to be focused on the front line.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits, professional training and career development, and the chance to be part of a growing and dynamic family of schools that is at the forefront of improving education.

Closing date for applications is 9am on March 21, 2018.
Interviews will take place the week commencing March 26, 2018.

Inspiration Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
