NOR: 2,271
Start Date: 01 September 2017
This is an exceptional opportunity to lead a very large and successful 11 – 19 Academy in an idyllic location. The current Principal is retiring after 15 years of outstanding leadership, during which the College has become the first choice for over 90% of students in the area, making it truly comprehensive. At the same time the results have improved significantly and Ofsted judgements have been consistently ‘good with outstanding features’.
The College is the only secondary provider in the town of Exmouth and numbers are set to grow in the near future. We are looking for a Principal who has the vision and commitment to take the College into the future, without losing the current strengths of attainment, outstanding behaviour and personal development. We would expect applicants to have successful experience of headship already. For those who wish to relocate, East Devon is an area of outstanding natural beauty, with wonderful leisure and recreational facilities and a pleasant climate. There are good road and rail connections to other parts of the UK.
A new chapter is about to begin for Exmouth Community College; if you think you are the person to lead the College through to the next stage of its development, please complete the Principal Application Form, which includes a letter of application (no more than two sides of A4), detailing the elements of your experience that are most relevant and useful to leading a large College and why you think you’re the right person for the job.
Please submit this to recruitment@exmouthcollege.devon.sch.uk by noon on the closing date.
We would strongly encourage you to arrange a visit to the College by contacting Gill Keddie, HR Manager, on 01395 255 666 or gillian.keddie@exmouthcollege.devon.sch.uk We think that, if you do, you will really understand and be excited by the opportunities we have to offer.
