Executive Headteacher at Anglian Learning

In the role of executive headteacher, you will provide dynamic leadership for both Marleigh Primary Academy and Fen Ditton Community Primary School, aligning with the overarching aims and objectives of the Trust. This position is especially significant as it coincides with a crucial moment for both schools, transitioning into a collaborative partnership after working together closely for the past two years. Your leadership will guide dedicated teams in realising the unique vision and values of each school, with a particular focus on facilitating the growth of Marleigh Primary Academy. This involves developing and integrating efficient systems and structures, overseeing day-to-day implementation, and ensuring optimal outcomes for pupils.

We are seeking a candidate with a proven track record of school improvement and improved outcomes for pupils. We are looking for someone who is already an established and successful educational leader, with the drive and ambition to ensure continued success and the vision and skills to deliver change within our schools.

As executive headteacher, you will have oversight of strategic leadership, defining and delivering the vision and objectives of both the academies and the Trust, ensuring that each academy has a robust school improvement plan with appropriate monitoring and intervention in place. Alongside this you will oversee the implementation of a curriculum in each academy that is inclusive and that enables pupils to thrive whilst upholding the highest standards of safeguarding controls.

In order to meet these objectives, as executive headteacher, you will need to fulfill four distinct roles:

1. Strategic thinking: to ensure that school leaders and employees have a clear sense of vision and the values whilst being held to account.

2. Consistency and collaboration: to ensure school-to-school coherence across the academies and Trust as a whole.

3. Outward facing: to ensure that the academies develop links and networks both locally and further afield and that these are scaled up across the Trust.

4. Coaching and empowering staff: to ensure a continual supply of high- quality leaders and personnel through effective delegation, succession planning, mentoring, coaching and support at all levels.

If you would like to discover more about this exciting opportunity, need any further information or you wish to have an informal discussion.
