Finham Park Multi Academy Trust is delighted to announce that we are recruiting a Headteacher for Finham Park School, the lead school in our Trust, for September 2017. This exciting opportunity has become available as the previous post holder moves to become Executive Headteacher of the Trust. Finham Park School is a thriving and extremely successful 11-18 school.

Finham Park School was judged as ‘Outstanding’ in 2015, for the second time and was recently named as one of the ‘Top 100’ non-selective state-funded schools in the country. It is highly over-subscribed with a growing Sixth Form of over 300 students and was also accredited with a World Class Schools Quality Mark – endorsing our belief that Finham Park will become a learning community to rival the best on a national and international stage in the future. The successful candidate will lead Finham Park School and continue our drive to become a “World Class” school.

We are looking to appoint a charismatic, dynamic individual with exceptional leadership skills, who naturally inspires others and is passionate about teaching and its impact on learning. The successful candidate will be driven by a commitment to create the best possible educational opportunities for our pupils, in order to raise aspirations and transform lives.

Finham Park Multi Academy Trust is seeking a Headteacher who will:

• inspire and motivate students and staff, ensuring all are valued and supported to be the best they can be

• be passionate about making a difference for every child

• maintain and develop excellent relationships between staff, governors, parents, students and the wider community

• be committed to being involved at a strategic level in the development and growth of our Multi Academy Trust – unique in it’s ambition to promote co-construction at all levels of the Executive Headteacher and other colleagues from the Trust and its schools
