Job overview
The Trustees of the Morris Education Trust (MET) and the LGB of Witchford Village College (WVC) are looking for an inspirational and driven school leader to be the next Principal of the college. This career-defining opportunity will enable you to build quickly on the college's many strengths and to make a real difference in the lives of young people in the area.
WVC is an expanding, 11-16 school located in the village of Witchford, two miles west of Ely. It achieved its strongest GCSE results in 2016 and a 'Good' inspection later that year.

- supportive and committed staff and students and families who want the college to be even stronger
- an opportunity that will develop as the role and Trust grows
- leadership from a highly experienced CEO (who is a National Leader of Education) and mentoring from an outstanding Principal within the MAT
- support from the excellent team of professionals who work within the growing Trust
- access to the opportunities created by our newly established Morris Teaching School Alliance
The College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share in this commitment. All staff will be subject to an enhanced check with the DBS.
