Due to the retirement of the current post-holder, Wycombe High School Academies Trust (WHSAT) is looking to appoint a Headteacher to lead Bourne End Academy. You will be an inspiring, driven and effective practitioner, with the energy and commitment to lead the school on our journey to ‘Outstanding’.
Bourne End Academy’s school motto ‘Believe, Engage, Aspire’ is at the heart of everything we do. We combine an exceptional learning experience with a rewarding, enriching curriculum which broadens students’ horizons and encourages them to believe in their abilities. We are extremely proud of the significant and positive change at our school to ensure that we have a track record of achieving consistently good outcomes for all. We are situated in the heart of Bourne End, a busy, vibrant and welcoming village, with direct transport links to London, close to major motorways and Heathrow Airport.
We are seeking an ambitious, dedicated and focused Headteacher.

The successful candidate will have a track record of raising standards and improving outcomes and will be somebody with a passion for improving social mobility. The expectation is for the successful candidate to contribute towards the development of the Trust and Trust priorities.
