Principal

If you really want to make your mark in a school that is committed to improving the lives of children and young people, this is the role for you.

This is a special opportunity for an exceptional leader. This is a special school for boys with SEMH, who require high-quality specialist support. They have high ambitions for all the pupils who attend the school and they deserve an excellent education.

The school have successfully undergone a journey of improvement but there is still more to do. They require someone who is driven; someone who is able to recognise and build on current strengths whilst leading a culture of continuous improvement.  

You will believe that every pupil can realise their true potential with the right support, curriculum and teaching in place. You will be committed and ambitious with a proven record of school improvement and will have a relentless focus on the quality of teaching and delivering the national curriculum. You will establish a culture that promotes excellence, equity and high expectations for all pupils.  

The school would be very keen to hear from potential candidates from primary, secondary or further education from either mainstream or special schools. 

The school has a dedicated team who work closely and collaboratively with families and other professionals to support pupils to reach their full potential and prepare them for life beyond. 

The school is part of a national network of schools, brought together by the belief that each and every child has an entitlement to an excellent education in every classroom, every day. An excellent education transforms lives and every pupil who attends one of their schools should be given the support, care and opportunity they need to flourish. They leverage their scale to support all their teachers, leaders and young people to be the best they can be.

You will be joining one of the largest and most inclusive trusts in the country. They have a flourishing group of special schools within their network, supported by their National Director of Special Schools and Inclusion. This headship is an opportunity to take on the leadership of a school with high levels of potential, with the support of a network of expert peers and within a trust that really values and celebrates their special school provision. 

They would welcome applications from either existing principals or vice principals looking for their first headship and have strong induction and development support in place.

If you are excited by this role and believe you have the values, vision, and expertise to lead the academy to sustainable excellence, then they want to hear from you.
