This is an exciting opportunity to lead an improving school to its next stage. Great Academy Ashton is a large 11-16, non-selective academy that serves the communities in and around Ashton-Under-Lyne and the surrounding areas of Tameside. It is part of GAET, an ambitious Multi-Academy Trust, with the highest expectations of all young people in our academies and the skills and strategic leadership to deliver outstanding educational provision.

The Principal will create, develop and implement a centre of excellence for the Ashton community and a comprehensive vision for Great Academy Ashton that will enable it to offer to young people an education that is tailored to their individual needs, regardless of background or ability.
