This role provides a remarkable opportunity to combine the experience of running a school with the benefit of working as part of a national trust.  You will be joining the leading inclusive educational trust in the country - one where you have more prospects to develop, where your work is truly valued and where you will receive the recognition and rewards to motivate you to build on your achievements.”
