Head of Academy

HEAD OF ACADEMY– SKIPTON GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL

Required for September 2018

Leadership Scale L25 – L30 

Accountable to the CEO, Northern Star Academies Trust, the Head of Academy will take full responsibility for the leadership of this outstanding school, consolidating our achievements and building on these to new heights of excellence.

We believe that to achieve a world class education system across the UK, it is our moral imperative as an outstanding school to work hard to embed world class aspirations in all that we do. Our goal is to transform the lives of our students, staff and community and to inspire each other to keep on developing and improving.

This post is an opportunity for an ambitious leader looking either to extend their experience of headship, or start their first headship in a highly supportive and rewarding environment. The vacancy arises from the current Headteacher being promoted to CEO of the Trust.

Northern Star Academies Trust would like to appoint an ambitious, energetic and highly collaborative Head of Academy who will maintain the schools’ ethos in line with the vision and values of the Trust Board. Strong leadership is also vital to the success of the Trust. 

Why work for Northern Star Academies Trust?

Each school in our Trust is unique and all of our primary and secondary academies are rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted.
