Academy Principal

Are you an ambitious and inspirational school leader looking for your next challenge? Are you seeking an opportunity to lead a unique school community within a supportive and collaborative Multi Academy Trust, linked to a successful Teaching School, Research School and National Support School?

Due to the retirement of our current Principal, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a determined educationalist to lead this Ofsted ‘good’ school into the next stage of development. 

At The Wilmslow Academy we expect our children to be resourceful, reciprocal, resilient and reflective. You will find our pupils friendly, well-behaved and very eager to learn. We have active and supportive local governors, staff and parents/carers, with the additional benefit of the support of a local, small, experienced MAT. There is effective collaboration and partnership within the Trust and local primary Heads’ forum and a strong commitment to continuing professional development.

To be successful you will be an outstanding leader with a ‘can do approach’, who is passionate about developing, delivering and articulating the vision, values and ethos of the academy and who will inspire and empower others to share in achieving it.

An innovator who will develop creative approaches to continue to drive the high quality of teaching, learning and assessment, through a broad and balanced curriculum, you will ensure that our children enjoy their education whilst reaching their full potential. We are looking for an excellent communicator who can further strengthen existing positive relationships with parents and families, the local governing body and the community and work collaboratively across the Trust.

Visits to the school are strongly encouraged and welcomed on Tuesday 6th March. To arrange a visit, please contact Alison Broadhurst on 01625 383075 or email: abroadhurst@ashgrove.cheshire.sch.uk
