Principal

Sheffield Park Academy is part of United Learning, a successful national group of academies and independent schools. Our schools share a mission to bring out ‘the best in everyone’ and to improve the life chances of the children and young people in their care.

Our South Yorkshire cluster comprises Sheffield Park Academy, Sheffield Springs Academy and Barnsley Academy. Our cluster model enables high quality, bespoke school improvement and business support services, and provides wider opportunities for both staff and students to work collaboratively.

Sheffield Park Academy is a vibrant and exciting school with a solid local reputation. We are ambitious for the school as it builds on its strengths in line with our Framework for Excellence: promoting the best in everyone; powerful knowledge; education with character; leadership in every role; and continuous improvement.

This is an excellent opportunity for a leader looking to combine the autonomy of running their own school with the benefit of working within a cluster and as part of a national group.  United Learning prioritises collaboration, values shared practice and provides high-quality professional development.

The academy is housed in purpose-built, £30million premises, benefitting from excellent state of the art facilities and plays a vital part in its community, promoting key values of respect, tolerance and diversity, essential to ensuring that young people can thrive and have high aspirations. Close to the vibrant city centre of Sheffield and the countryside of the Peak District, Sheffield Park Academy is well situated and within 10 minutes of major transport links.

As Principal, you will demonstrate a clear commitment to the school and its community. You will model outstanding leadership and set high expectations for students and staff. Your professionalism, expertise and enthusiasm for education will be evident each and every day, in all that you do.

If you are looking for an exciting, challenging and highly rewarding role within a Group that offers a strong commitment to professional development, and if you have an unshakeable commitment to improving the lives of young people, we encourage you to visit us.
