Assistant Principal

Outwood Academy Newbold seeks applications from outstanding and ambitious practitioners. To be successful, you will firstly need to be an outstanding classroom practitioner who is able to consistently deliver, and coach others in excellent teaching and learning practice, ensuring that this is at the heart of everything you do. Secondly, you will need to be an outstanding leader who can demonstrate that you have had a sustained and measurable impact in your current role. 

Located in the attractive village of Newbold in Chesterfield, a short drive from the beauty of the Peak District in Derbyshire and the thriving city of Sheffield, Outwood Academy Newbold is a school with a clear and persuasive ethos. We believe that children never achieve their full potential if their time at school is wasted, and consequently we expect our staff to bring out the best in each and every student. Our diverse curriculum has something for everyone, with extra guidance for those requiring additional support, and we do whatever it takes to help young people develop a sense of responsibility – towards themselves, each other, their community and the wider world. We are extremely proud of the transformation our academy has started and our welcoming and supportive culture and climate will engage you immediately. If you share our worldview and want to make a real difference to the lives of young people in Chesterfield, you can join us in transforming futures.

This is a fantastic opportunity for exceptional, experienced and ambitious leaders.  You will work alongside the Head of School/Vice Principals to ensure that the leadership and management of the academy operates at the most effective level possible. Outwood Academy Newbold has a track record of developing leaders to the level of Principal.  You will be an inspiring leader with the energy and creativity to lead, motivate and rapidly raise standards.  You must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our single goal of ‘students first’.

You will be joining a highly innovative, inspirational and ambitious organisation, so we are seeking only outstanding candidates who can realise the highest possible quality of services to support our educational vision. Your strong leadership and ability to provide effective support to colleagues will enable the organisation to achieve the best possible outcomes for all of our students.
