Job overview
We are seeking to appoint a dynamic, motivational and ambitious Vice Principal with a strong proven track record at senior leadership level. This is an exciting opportunity for an inspirational and creative leader to plan a crucial role in moving the academy towards "outstanding".
You will have excellent inter-personal skills and be highly effective in promoting the very best behaviours for learning. We are looking for a candidate who demonstrates unconditional positive regard for young people, and who has the highest expectations of themselves and others.

The successful applicant will join the academy at an exciting time in its growth and evolution and will have the opportunity to shape the way we move forward. If you feel you have the skills and drive to make a difference, we would like to hear from you.
This post is considered to be a customer-facing position. As such, it falls within scope of the Code of Practice on English Language requirements for public sector workers. The school, therefore, has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the person specification. These will be applied during the recruitment/selection and probationary stages.
Please note that we encourage early applications, and reserve the right to withdraw this vacancy at any time should the right candidate be found.
Coopers School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
