This is a truly exhilarating opportunity for a driven and dynamic school leader to lead an all through cluster of schools to its next stage of development.

If you are motivated by working in a challenging and supportive environment where the key outcome is our shared desire to achieve the very best for our children and young people to secure life chances from which they may not otherwise benefit, if you have the talent, tenacity and passion to lead this school and our Federation then we hope you will consider applying for this role.
