Are you an exceptional leader looking for the opportunity to take on a unique, career-defining role that involves combining the leadership of a school with executive support for an Academy?

Then the Wellsway Multi Academy Trust has the ideal opportunity for you.

Situated in a large, semi-rural setting in Keynsham, and with great transport links, Wellsway School is a successful 11-18 mixed comprehensive that shares a site with the IKB Academy - a purpose built 14-19 STEM studio school with excellent state-of-the-art facilities. Both are part of the well-established Wellsway Multi Academy Trust that runs 13 schools across the West of England.

Right now, we are seeking an outstanding school leader who’s looking to further their strategic leadership experience by combining the role of principal with that of an executive leader. Join us and, as part of the wider trust leadership team, you will be encouraged not only to contribute to school improvement work across the trust, but also work closely with the two primary phase schools that share our large and thriving campus.

This truly is a rare chance to take on a role with a unique portfolio that will enable you to broaden your leadership experience while retaining a substantive principal role. Accordingly, you will need an impressive track record to date and a genuine desire to help shape the future of our schools and their students

In return we’ll offer you:

• A competitive salary plus excellent benefits package.
• An energised and professional working environment.
• The chance to work with a supportive team from whom you can learn, develop and grow.
• A full and varied CPD programme offering teaching and leadership development.
• Wider opportunities to be involved across our multi-academy trust.
