Following the promotion of the current post holder, an exciting opportunity has arisen to guide Alderman White School through its next stage of development.

Alderman White School is a friendly, thriving and stimulating place to work and study. We set high aims for every student and appoint staff who can inspire and motivate the school community.

Success is represented by happy, confident, well-rounded students who make excellent progress and who are well-equipped and confident to tackle the next stages of their life and contribute positively to their community.

Our new Head of School will be someone who is making rapid progress in their career, who has shown that they can thrive under the challenges of leadership and is ready to move to a new level. They will have a clear vision and sense of purpose. They will work well as part of our Trust team, but be single-minded in their desire to succeed for Alderman White.

• Collaborate and build high performing teams; inspire, motivate and develop sustainable relationships with all members of the school community
• Engage with students, teachers, parents and the community in a manner that is open, inclusive and conveys the values of the Academy Trust and the school
