Our four core values of:

Are at the heart of all we do. 

We are a truly collaborative Trust where the uniqueness of each school is valued. We are one professional community. 

We are looking to recruit an exceptionally talented individual with the insight to identify and promote best practice, and the courage to challenge our schools to improve even further, by leading School improvement and partnership work across the Trust’s academies.  You will be outward facing and readily engage with professional networks such as the Teaching School hubs, English hubs, Maths hubs etc.  The successful candidate must be able to work with neighbouring Local Authorities and schools and academies within these Authorities. 

This role is an exciting opportunity for an outstanding and inspirational primary school improvement professional who has the aspiration, integrity and ability to help support the ongoing improvements across the Trust’s academies and the willingness to engage in National Support School work.
