Principal

Isle Education Trust are seeking to appoint a dynamic, committed and innovative individual to join our Trust in the role of Principal at Epworth Primary Academy.

We require an ambitious, determined and committed individual to secure further positive outcomes for our children, staff, families, trust and the wider community, building on our recent Ofsted grading of good (Feb 2019). Through strong leadership, enthusiasm for learning and the ability to inspire and motivate others as a role model, you will harness the key strengths and energy of the academy.

The Principal will have the required leadership experience, vision and ambition coupled with strong management and communication skills to motivate the staff team, student body and community to secure rapid and sustainable improvement, building capacity in teaching, leadership and support at all levels. The desire and ability to achieve challenging targets for high standards of behaviour, progress and attainment at the academy and beyond is essential.

The post offers the exciting opportunity to join the senior leadership team in an Academy that benefits from being part of a small Multi-Academy Trust, that believes that individuals matter, and is ambitious for itself and those who are part of the organisation.

We are able to offer:

• The support of a well-established, successful trust, who believe that leaders of the academy should be able to concentrate on delivering the highest quality teaching and learning with an inclusive curriculum leaving the Trust to deal with statutory obligation centrally.

• A dedicated and committed staff team

• Pupils who genuinely want to learn

• High quality professional development within a Teaching School Alliance

• Opportunities to work across the Trust

Epworth is an easy commute for those based in Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield and Leeds.

Isle Education Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect staff and volunteers to share in this commitment. Appointments will be subject to DBS clearance and satisfactory references.

Early applications are encouraged and will be dealt with upon receipt.
