Principal

We wish to appoint an innovative and enthusiastic Principal to lead our dedicated staff team working with students from Foundation Stage to KS4. The Principal will provide vision, leadership and direction and will foster excellence and high expectations throughout the Academy. This is a permanent, full time post to start in September 2017.  

SchoolsCompany South & West Devon Academy is part of an expanding sponsored Multi Academy Trust and therefore this is an exciting time to join our evolving Alternative Provision Academy. The Academy caters for young people who have experienced difficulty in mainstream education and are on roll of the academy as a result of permanent exclusion, medical needs or other additional needs. Our staff team are committed practitioners who strive to give our students a personalised and relevant education that will enable them to re-engage with learning and lead to reintegration into school, further education and employment.  

This is an excellent opportunity to make a difference to the future of young people in a demanding, but rewarding, area of education. If you have proven successful experience of school leadership; are confident in driving whole-school improvement; and are committed to securing positive outcomes for disadvantaged young people then we would love to hear from you. 

We are dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expect all staff to share this commitment.  An enhanced DBS disclosure is required for this post, along with the relevant pre-employment checks.
