Assistant Principal

At Newark Hill Academy we are looking for a fresh and ambitious individual to help shape our future forward from January 2020.

In order to continue on this exciting phase of development, we are now seeking a passionate Assistant Principal to join our team. 

At the Newark Hill Academy, we pride ourselves with having reduced class sizes for a substantial part of the day. This enables teachers to give instant feedback to all pupils in the lesson, ensuring all children are able to reach their full potential in every lesson and ultimately their whole school career. 

We are pioneering our teaching and learning outlook by being a 21st Century school and are proud to be a ‘Microsoft Showcase School’, 1 of only 14 in the United Kingdom. Our pupils use technology for their learning, equipping them with vital skills for the future.

• Have experience of working in a diverse and forward-thinking community.
• Have a proven track record in leadership to bring about excellence and improvement in a professional culture of trust and transparency. 

In return, you will join a team where staff well-being is at the forefront of everything we do, providing a positive work-life balance.
