Job overview
ABOUT US
Future Academies is a Multi-Academy Trust consisting of three primary and seven secondary academies across London and Hertfordshire. Established by Future Academies in 2012, the Curriculum Centre leads on the development of a common curriculum and its implementation across our academies. It currently employs 15 part-time leading subject specialists who produce a wide range of curriculum materials and provide coaching for our teachers. Increasingly, the Curriculum Centre is working with groups of schools outside of our Trust to share our materials and expertise.
THE ROLE
The Curriculum Centre is developing two innovative programmes of work: delivering the Department for Education’s national Latin Excellence Programme and our Curriculum Centre Partnerships programme. These programmes involve managing a growing number of partnerships with schools across the country, providing resources, training and support for teachers.
We are looking for an experienced Programme Manager with strengths in project management and communications. The Programme Manager will manage the day-to-day delivery of both the Latin Excellence Programme and the Curriculum Partnerships programme with the support of an administrator. This is a key post responsible for the smooth running of two high-profile programmes of work, including managing workflows, information and database management, budget handling, and the communications strategy.
The ideal candidate is someone with a passion for project management, particularly partnership projects that involve working in small teams to manage growing projects with multiple stakeholders. They will be highly-organised and motivated, able to take ownership of planning and day-to-day project management. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential, as well as an eye for detail and a general interest in school education, curriculum development, or teacher training.

About Future Academies
‘Freedom Through Education’
Future Academies is a Multi-Academy Trust, established in 2008 and sponsored by Lord and Lady Nash’s charity, Future. Future Academies was founded with the aim of improving the life chances and raising the aspirations of young people. The Trust’s motto, ‘Libertas per Cultum’ (‘Freedom through Education’), is the clearest distillation of Future Academies’ vision for education: to grant students freedom from deprivation, prejudice or ignorance, as well as to endow them with the freedom to question, to choose, and to excel.
To achieve these goals, the Trust believes in the power of a first-rate, knowledge-rich curriculum: such an education is the best foundation for helping young people to succeed and overcome social barriers, irrespective of their backgrounds or starting points.
Future Academies currently comprises ten schools, across London and Hertfordshire. It also has its own Curriculum Centre, where researchers develop high-quality curriculum resources which are designed with knowledge at their heart, and which give young people access to the best that has been thought, known and said.
Since its formation in 2008, the Trust has carefully selected its projects, taking on the running of failing schools and turning them around. Working with young people who are often materially and socially deprived, Future Academies seeks to provide a first-rate education and to raise ambitions at all its schools. Their aim is for young people to leave their schools ready to take their place in the world - well-educated, motivated and with strong leadership skills, personally accomplished and determined to make a positive and lasting contribution to the world they step into. They firmly believe that a child’s background should not be a barrier to success and those who work for the Trust are committed to delivering an education that broadens students’ horizons in a truly transformative way.
