Job overview
Turner Schools is a young and ambitious Trust with a vision to transform outcomes in non-selective schools on a beautiful stretch of coastal Kent, a DfE designated priority area. The Trust is committed to raising aspirations here, transforming university uptake and employability, by running schools where children thrive and knowledge matters.
This is a unique opportunity to join – and shape – the Trust as the Executive Principal of its largest school, Folkestone ‘All-age’ Academy, providing a cradle to career education from 3 to 19.
The Executive Principal will be an aspirational and experienced educational leader who has the analytical skills and strategic vision to build a strong reputation for the whole Academy.

Working together we will ensure that a powerful education is available to everyone.
