Headteacher

Situated in the heart of Sutton Coldfield, Plantsbrook School is an oversubscribed inclusive 11-18 school with a thriving sixth form, an established staff body, and big ambitions for our students and our local community.

We are seeking an experienced leader of school improvement, with a proven track-record of delivering excellence. You will need vision, and the energy, tenacity and ability to win hearts and minds to take the school to the next level. You will be skilled at initiating, managing and leading effective change, and completely committed to ensuring the delivery of high quality and engaging teaching and pastoral support to every student.

You will inspire and collaborate with all staff and external partners, motivating the whole school community to be the best they can be. Along the way, you can expect plenty of support, as we operate at the heart of Broadleaf Partnership Trust, an expanding cross phase academy trust with a vision to lead and enable community centred schools that raise and realise aspirations, celebrate successes, and promote a lifelong love of learning.

We do not anticipate receiving any internal applications for this role, and are looking for an exceptional school leader with real imagination and the drive and determination to make things happen. Already a seasoned senior manager, you will be ready to take an exciting step in your career and be capable of getting the most from every student as well as every member of our team.

In return, you can expect all the satisfaction of leading a school with endless potential to change students’ lives, as well as an exceptional package including generous relocation assistance.
