Delce Academy located in Medway, Kent is part of The Inspire Partnership Academy Trust, a family of schools across Medway, Croydon and Greenwich who aim to offer a life changing education to children. Our schools work in collaboration to transform the lives of the children and communities we serve. 

Delce Academy is a school on a journey of transformation and we are seeking a headteacher who will be relentless in the pursuit for achieving a consistently good quality of education for our children. Our dedicated and motivated staff are committed to building on the recent improvements and seek an ambitious and inspiring headteacher to lead the whole school community to a stronger future.

Central to our improvement is the implementation of our global curriculum. Developed by practitioners from across the Medway hub, learning is brought to life through current contexts that connect to our children’s lives - who they are, how they fit into the world and how they contribute. We strive for our children to be inspired by our exciting curriculum and to challenge themselves to excel in their learning. We promote independence, resilience and teamwork so that they are prepared to be informed, purposeful citizens in the 21st Century.

Along with pursuing high standards of curriculum outcomes and excellence for all, inclusivity is central to our core mission. We work hard to ensure that the needs of every child are met in order to reach their full potential. Our relationships with outside agencies are strong so that the additional needs of any children are met and the partnership with parents is vital so that we are able to support the learning of all children.

Presently we host a resource-based provision for children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH). The Delce Education Centre (DEC) caters for up to 30 primary aged children who have an Education Health Care Plan with SEMH as their primary need. The DEC provides a supportive and caring environment for learning. The strong teaching ensures the curriculum is designed to demonstrate nurturing and moral values which help our children achieve their best.

Currently Delce Academy is a three-form entry school, with one form for infants; the school is transitioning to become a junior school. We are seeking to appoint an energetic and committed headteacher who is passionate for providing our young people with the very best learning experiences. Your application should highlight and provide evidence of your strong leadership strengths, as well as your commitment and alignment to the Inspire Partnership ethos and values. 

This role offers a fantastic career opportunity for the successful candidate to lead in shaping the strategic vision and direction not only for Delce, but for the Trust as a whole. The role will enable the post holder to collaborate with other members of the Trust Senior Leadership Team, to participate in and, on occasion lead initiatives focussed on supporting school development in other schools as part of the Inspire Partnership vision for supporting excellent education for all.

Further information about our Trust is available at: https://www.inspirepartnership.co.uk or to discuss this opportunity, please contact Mrs. Melissa Carpenter, Trust Education Leader at mcarpenter@inspirepartnership.co.uk.

Visits to our school are essential. To arrange a visit please contact Ms Abby Wong,

Executive Assistant on 07761 918457 or awong@inspirepartnership.co.uk.

Closing date for applications: 9am on Monday 28th November 2022

Interview date:  Monday 5th December 2022
