Job overview
Working as part of The GORSE Academies Trust, Bruntcliffe Academy will ensure that students receive an outstanding education that focuses on aspiration, high expectations and personalisation. Together these non-negotiable values will instil in young people a self-belief that enables students to access the highest standard of higher educational provision and employment beyond Year 11. We believe that poverty and deprivation should in no way limit either the quality of a young person’s educational experience or the levels of achievement to which those students are able to rise.
We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, enthusiastic and inspirational Vice Principal to join Bruntcliffe Academy from Easter 2017, ensuring that it becomes a truly outstanding establishment.
This is a key role in the academy’s development and the successful candidate, in partnership with the Principal, will oversee significant aspects of our work in line with their areas of strength. The successful candidate will be an inspirational leader who can demonstrate passion, integrity and a strong record of effective practice. Our standards and expectations are high and we expect our new Vice Principal to play an integral role in our continuing drive for excellence.
From September 2015, Bruntcliffe Academy has become part of the GORSE Academies Trust which is led by Sir John Townsley. The Trust is a vibrant and forward thinking teaching community which places all students, and in particular those who come from the most challenging backgrounds, at the centre of its work. The Trust has two outstanding secondary schools, The Morley Academy and The Farnley Academy, an 11-16 Free School - The Ruth Gorse Academy, and the largest Post-16 Free School in the country, Elliott Hudson College. Hillcrest Academy (Ofsted Outstanding), Ryecroft Academy and Morley Newlands Academy are the primary schools within the Trust. The Trust also includes two Teaching Schools, providing leadership development and initial teacher training and the opportunity to be involved in innovative and exciting teaching and learning opportunities.
