Neale-Wade Academy is a large mixed, mainstream, secondary school in Cambridgeshire. It caters to students aged 11 to 18 and has circa 1,400 pupils enrolled. The Academy is set in spacious grounds and enviable premises close to the centre of the market town of March. It converted to an academy and became the founding member school of the Active Learning Trust in 2013. The academy is committed to bringing out the best in everyone. Our mission is to enable all students to “dream, believe and achieve”. We promote the aspirational approach that anything is possible and encourage all of our local community to reinforce this notion. We are committed to working in very close partnership with both parents and carers to foster a strong relationship that enables all of our students to be fully supported and happy children.
We are now looking for an exceptional, committed Principal with a proven record in educational leadership to share our ambition and strategic vision to build upon the Ofsted ’good’ rating and to create an outstanding educational experience for all pupils. You will guide our academy in its next stage of development and continue the journey of shaping it into a centre of excellence within the Active Learning Trust. Your energy and enthusiasm will inspire, challenge and empower all members of the academy in achieving the vision, and fostering an environment in which learning thrives.
It is an exciting challenge, and we are looking for an inspirational leader with a passion for children’s education, strong commitment to raising attainment and improving performance, and a high level of tenacity and initiative. You will have a successful track record of delivering high-quality teaching and learning for all children, including those with Special Educational Needs and a clear commitment to equality of opportunity, inclusion and a culture that celebrates diversity.
In return, we offer you the opportunity to lead and further develop a school that has a strong leadership team, an enthusiastic staff, a committed local governing body and pupils who are curious, receptive and willing to learn. You will be a part of a supportive trust, which is committed to achieving excellence in educational delivery and student attainment and is passionate about developing the communities it serves.

Visions and values
Our vision for Neale-Wade and our community is one of opportunity, success, confidence and pride.
Experience tells us that we are happiest when we are at our most confident. It is confidence in ourselves and others, that enables us to be proud of who we are and our community.
Being able to progress with our learning and approach the future with optimism is crucial, not only for our own wellbeing, but also ensuring we are successful in our ventures.
Confidence is learned. It is only through opportunity are we able to discover new talents, develop our interests or progress our learning. Providing a range of opportunities in and out of the classroom is fundamental to our curriculum at Neale-Wade.
Recognising our success is how we embed and reinforce these attributes. It is only through the support and recognition from others, that we are able to have the courage and motivation to continue our development.

"Curriculum leaders have reviewed their curriculum plans to make them more ambitious than before. Many curriculum plans now identify clearly what is important for pupils to learn. The trust and governing body work closely with leaders to make the school better. Staff at all levels understand that more needs to be done to improve the school and gain the trust of the school community once again."
