Job overview

This exciting opportunity offers the chance to undertake an Assistant Principal that will see you work positively with our Principal and Vice Principal to identify priorities and opportunities for academy improvement that support the achievement of outstanding outcomes. You will also lead on the delivery of one of our strategic aims and rigorously ensure that our systems are working smoothly and effectively on a day-to-day basis. 

You will be an inspiring leader who, through leading by example, will promote high expectations and support the delivery of high attainment for all students.

We are an 11-16 Academy in South Gloucestershire close to the border of Bristol with a growing reputation both locally and regionally. Whilst we appreciate the unique setting in which the Academy is placed, we work hard to challenge students from a variety of backgrounds to be the best they can be in all areas of life.

We are part of the Cabot Learning Federation - a diverse Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) in the South West that currently sponsors eight secondary academies, nine primary academies, an all through provision, a studio school, a discrete Post 16 provision and an alternative provision which consists of one primary and three secondary phases.

CLF has a successful track record of performance delivery across all of its Academies; as Vice Principal, you will be able to seize the chance to make a real difference to the lives of the students and improve their life chances.
