Job overview
Windsor Learning Partnership is an innovative, forward-thinking multi-academy Trust. To reflect the Trust’s ambitions and continued progress, we are looking to appoint an experienced leader to this newly created position – the Executive Headteacher role – that will oversee Windsor Girls’ School and Windsor Boy’s School.
Who we are
The Windsor Learning Partnership has been fostering a collaborative educational community since our establishment in March 2015. Our commitment is to provide an exceptional educational experience for all local students, with a focus on cooperation, innovation and shared leadership.
Our mission is to place students at the heart of everything we do, offering inspiring experiences, better life chances, and the skills for successful careers and community participation.
About the role
We seek an Executive Headteacher to join our executive leadership team and lead the strategic direction of Windsor Learning Partnership, with a focus on curriculum design, stakeholder management, and organisational growth. The role will involve shaping our teaching and learning frameworks, strengthening our cross-organisational culture and driving a culture of continual educational improvement in both settings.
The successful candidate will navigate governance intricacies, champion data-driven decision-making, and promote community engagement. You will also be responsible for our Ofsted inspections and be a key figure in our conversations with DfE and local authority.
Furthermore, you will ensure that behaviour and attitudes to learning remain at a high standard and create a positive and developmental working environment for all of our staff. There is potential for growth in this role to transition into a Director of Secondary, with an influence over the future direction of the Trust.
Who we are looking for
We seek a leader with a proven track record in educational leadership, stakeholder management, and curriculum development. The Executive Headteacher should come with a QTS and have had a career in teaching and learning settings.
We are open to the school background that you come from, but demonstrable success in improving school outcomes or maintaining excellence in your school is vital. Whilst multi-site leadership is not essential, the desire to take the next step in your career and drive standards across schools is preferred.
The ideal candidate will inspire staff, address immediate challenges and drive long-term improvements. Experience in managing a diverse team, collaborating with stakeholders beyond the Trust, and navigating cultural shifts is crucial.
Our schools play a key role in our community, so being outward-facing and being able to manage flourishing relationships with all external stakeholders, from parents and carers to local and regional sports clubs is key. Our ideal candidate will demonstrate a willingness to embrace collaborative and innovative approaches, fostering a positive and open culture.
