Head of School

The North East Learning Trust (NELT) is looking to appoint a dynamic Head of School to join our family of schools and lead Rye Hills Academy from 1st September 2023 or sooner. 

Currently graded as inadequate, ungraded following sponsorship by NELT, but rapidly improving under the guidance of NELT, we are looking for an exceptional individual to champion the continuing transformation of this blossoming secondary school.

 With unwavering support from a team of trusted leaders of education, our new Head of School will echo our big aspirations for Rye Hills as we look forward with great optimism to a future of exceptional progress, top performance, and rich extra-curricular opportunities for the children of this industrious coastal town. 

The successful candidate will be driven by a deep-seated desire to make a real and lasting difference to the lives of children. They must be able to motivate, develop and inspire staff through their love of teaching and their demonstrable talent as a teacher and leader. If you have a proven track record of success, of generating momentum and of bringing about change, this role could be perfect for you. 

Working for the North East Learning Trust means joining one of the most successful and ambitious education trusts in the country and one of the largest school families in the region. We pride ourselves on creating outstanding schools, in every sense of the word, with a track record of transformation and success that speaks for itself. 

NELT staff are never alone with a dependable network of experienced and talented teachers supporting and nurturing all staff. Our Trust leaders are renowned for their hands-on approach to school improvement and are in demand regionally and nationally for their specialised knowledge and expertise. Our culture is one of professional development, and collaboration across all Trust schools where we invest in support, coaching and mentoring at all levels. 

On top of this, as a newly appointed Head of School, you will be individually supported by an experienced executive headteacher who will share your pursuit of excellence and your passion for ensuring that the children of Redcar get what they, and what every child deserves - the very best education possible. 

We look forward to discussing the role with candidates who have the relevant experience and personal attributes needed for the job. Please contact Emma Campbell on 0191 5180222 ext 17104 to arrange a call or visit.
