Head of School

Forest Academy is an exciting place with huge potential. It requires an extraordinary Head of School who is able to build on our successes and provide effective structures that continually improve standards. Our school is at the heart of the community. We are a future thinking school, which places a strong emphasis on interdependent learning through a challenge based curriculum. We work extremely effectively with the other three academies in our Synaptic family.

After a meeting with our Learning Council our Head Girl reported back to us that the children of Forest Academy would like a new head that is:

"Cheerful but firm ... someone who would go out of their way to improve our school, cares about us and makes a real difference."

In our most recent OFSTED we were graded good overall (outstanding for leadership).

We want you to continue to help us fulfil our vision of "Creating Futures for All" through:

• Promoting an ethos in which all aspire to achieve;
• Maintaining high academic standards;
• Providing a challenging, stimulating, fun and outstanding curriculum, with learning how to learn at its heart;
• Engaging with all stakeholders to build effective partnerships and;
• Being committed to the principles and practice of inclusion.

We pay you 1% above national recommendations and offer you free medical care.
