Job overview
The mission of Ninestiles Academy Trust is “to be nationally and internationally acknowledged as a high achieving, innovative and exciting group of schools which recognise and respect the richness and diversity of their communities.” Inclusion, high achievement for all and celebration of the diversity amongst our learners and communities are all central tenets of our work. Ninestiles is a unique Trust, seeking to empower all learners and members to achieve their best in everything they do.
Trustees are now seeking to appoint a new Chief Executive, following the appointment of the previous post-holder to the role of Regional Schools Commissioner (RSC) for the West Midlands. The new Chief Executive will have the proven skills, knowledge and experience in the education sector to shape and drive forward the future education landscape across the Trust and have the capacity and ambition to lead the growth of the Trust in a carefully planned and sustainable way. You will be an outstanding and innovative leader; a creative and forward-thinking practitioner; a colleague who is capable of not only consolidating but building on the Trust’s, and the constituent academies’, achievements.
The new Chief Executive will co-create and lead the conditions for the Trust’s continued success, championing and leading the work of the Trust and developing relationships across the city and beyond. This is high profile role, at the leading edge of the sector, so you’ll need to bring a deep understanding of how academies improve at pace, alongside the personal skills to influence, persuade and negotiate at the highest level.
So, if you’re passionate about making education better and ready for a new challenge in a high-profile role, visit www.leadninestilesacademytrust.co.uk or talk to Jo Fish or Rachel Singer at Navigate on 0113 287 8445 or 0203 637 5007.

Ninestiles School became an academy in 2011. Following this, Ninestiles Academy Trust was set up in 2012 and now has 7 schools and a 6th form college in its family. Ninestiles became a teaching school in the second cohort of teaching schools and is now widely known as Ninestiles Teaching School Alliance. Ninestiles has also had a centre for Initial Teacher Training since 2003, which is now South Birmingham SCITT. They have a passion for teaching and support and guide each trainee to their full potential, enabling them to securely enter the teaching profession in just one year.
A new Chief Executive, Catherine Anwar, joined the Trust in May 2017. Before joining the trust, Catherine was a Senior Her Majesty’s Inspector for Ofsted for four years and served eight years as a secondary school headteacher in Hampshire.
In our Trust, we celebrate the rich and diverse school communities that make up our schools. Sharing, listening to and respecting each other’s views and beliefs make our Trust stronger. We support each other, honouring our different backgrounds, to create a safe and equal environment for all.
We are fiercely ambitious for all our pupils and challenge them to do their best, every lesson, every day. We check their achievement and progress against the highest national standards. This ensures that we are always looking for ways to improve, and that we insist, relentlessly, on the highest standards of teaching and learning. Everyone in the Trust is continually challenged to improve on their previous best.
Curiosity is the engine of intellectual achievement. In our Trust, we encourage and provoke pupils’ curiosity so that they are inspired to seek out new knowledge, learn new skills and achieve excellence. Curiosity is closely linked to empathy, helping us all to develop better relationships. The life of a curious person is never boring!
The Trust Motto
Strength through Diversity
Ambition through Challenge
Excellence through Curiosity
The Trust changed its name to Summit Learning Trust in January 2019. The new name for the Trust symbolises our aspiration and ambition for all children and young people across our schools and college.
