Vice Principal

Bluecoat Wollaton Academy is looking to appoint a Vice Principal to lead on standards, quality assurance and help monitor the school to improve its process of implementation to yield high levels of impact. You will help shape and drive the five-year strategic vision of the school and write the school’s SEF to monitor our work against our plans. You will work hard to ensure that all children in the school excel from whatever their starting point, working with other leaders in the Trust to share ideas and practice. This is a role where we are looking for someone who always wants more for the children that we serve. 

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity for an ambitious leader who is keen to develop their skills. The Principal is also Executive Principal for the Trust and an Ofsted inspector. This means that there are some days when you will be the face for staff, students and parents. You will also work with governors too, all of whom share the vision for the school to be exceptional in all areas to help secure the levels of social mobility that we want to give our children. 

Some key areas currently assigned to the role are: Quality Assurance; SEF; Appraisal; Middle Leader development; research; delivery of the knowledge-rich curriculum; PP spending; CEIAG; staff wellbeing and line management of some subject areas. Training can be provided for areas where candidates are less strong currently and we are also keen to hear from great leaders who, as yet, have specialised in other areas but feel that they can identify with the plans for and purpose of the school. 

Bluecoat Wollaton Academy is a proud member of the Archway Learning Trust - a highly successful Trust, with an expanding number of academies covering the ages of 3-19 and operating across a growing number of campuses. The growth and development of our Multi-Academy Trust makes this an excellent opportunity to join us, as we seek to serve a growing number of young people across the region. 

In return, we can offer:

• Employee benefits and well-being scheme
• Cycle to work scheme 
• Salary sacrifice bus pass scheme
• A CPL development programme that genuinely supports all staff 
• A school with excellent behaviour and a visible SLT team
• Children who are eager to apply themselves and achieve
