The successful candidate will join our community of excellent, mutually supportive, strategically minded practitioners, committed to the Trust’s ethos and ready to continue their own professional development.
We are looking for a proven leader who will:
• Actively live out and embed the Christian Vision and core Christian values of the school.
• Be committed to developing others and be passionate about curriculum development.
• Be a dynamic leader who can inspire, support and develop the talents of pupils and staff to achieve the highest standards.
• Be passionate about ensuring every child achieves, to the best of their ability, through exceptional teaching & learning.
• Be adept in balancing appropriately the operational and strategic demands of the role.
• Be experienced in, and committed to, developing and nurturing collaborative partnerships both within the local community and across the wider Trust area.
• Be committed to the principles of appropriate accountability seen as a framework in which to achieve excellence for all.
• Consistently model the behaviour expected from staff and pupils.
• Be passionate in developing a learning experience that genuinely meets the needs of all learners, particularly those with SEND.
• Ensure the curriculum and learning experiences on offer are exciting, inspirational and prepare pupils for their next stages in education.
• Be a team builder and effective communicator.
• Be a lifelong learner.
• Endeavor to value not only the academic success of our children, but also their individual talents and achievements in other fields.
The skill set we have laid out is both extensive and diverse. Impact in your current role is important but so is your educational vision and philosophy. If you feel you have the right combination of experience and vision, we would be very interested to hear from you.
