Chief Executive Officer

Due to the retirement of our current CEO in summer 2022, Trustees are now seeking to make a permanent appointment to an exceptional leader to take the Trust towards the next stage of its development.

The new CEO, reporting directly to the Trust Board, will lead the delivery of the Trustees’ strategic and operational vision, putting pupil and student outcomes at the heart of everything they do. The CEO will be responsible for overseeing and working with our strong and dedicated team of Principals to ensure the continued improvement of educational standards, equality of access and achievement for all, and effective use of resources across the Trust.

Through a highly collaborative approach, exceptional communication and strong interpersonal skills and the determination to make a positive difference, the CEO will have a track record of success in delivering a strategic vision that drives a culture of continuous improvement and ensures the highest possible achievement for all. The CEO will be highly accomplished at developing professional networks and partnerships, have a clear understanding of the current education landscape, strong financial acumen and a proven ability to manage risk effectively.

It is important to us that the leader we appoint will have the confidence, vision and skills to lead the continued improvement and growth of the Trust, whilst at the same time ensuring the health and wellbeing of pupils, students and staff.
