The Griffin Schools Trust is a Head-led Trust. Founded by former school and system improvers who have led high-performing schools in the UK, Europe and Asia, the Trust works with the Heads and wider communities of its 12 schools in the Midlands and South East to develop a shared mission and values while preserving the individuality of each school. The family of schools and the Trust’s Board share a conviction that great schools are built on the three pillars of Proud Traditions, Wide Horizons and High Achievement. In practise this means rich extra-curricular programmes and high quality pastoral care as well as an inspiring curriculum, expertly taught. The Trust seeks to build community and communality across its primary and secondary schools, promoting unity rather than uniformity and enabling each school to lead its own journey to success. It is a given that schools work together within and cross phase to enhance their provision, speed their journeys to ‘great’ and celebrate the arts, sports and Founders’ Day events. The Trust offers direct access to a central team of experienced educationalists who provide strategic support and guidance, as well as central operational management services. Membership of the Trust affords its schools the opportunity to share best practice, to develop high order leadership skills and to have a voice in education nationally. With 2 secondary and 10 primary schools GST currently has a combined pupil population of just over 6,000. Please tell us in no more than one side of A4, in 11 point, how you would use your existing experience to contribute to the excellence at Park Lane to develop the provision further. Please also write a brief supporting statement which demonstrates your own achievements, but which also makes clear your motivation for applying for this role.
