Nova Education Trust is seeking an inspirational, strategic, Director of School Improvement to join our dynamic Executive Leadership Team.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and qualified professional with drive, ability, creativity, high expectations and a successful record of educational improvement to help us enact our mission and strategic plan to ensure that Nova’s pupils and everyone connected with the Trust’s academies experience and achieve excellence.
As a cross-phase Multi Academy Trust, we create compelling school cultures where all are motivated to aspire and grow. We establish aspirational, purposeful, celebratory and inclusive learning cultures for pupils, staff and our wider community.
We are committed to excellence; we are confident about our future and determined to achieve our aims.
Our mission is to create transformational schools.
Our family is currently made up of 15 academies (five primaries, nine secondaries and one sixth form college). In 2019, we entered into a long-term support partnership with Madani Schools Federation in Leicester to work with their two schools. We are excited to report that we are in the final stages of welcoming another two schools in the coming weeks. Nova also has a very successful School Centre for Initial Teacher Training. We will soon have 20 educational establishments that we are working with. The Trust is growing and has plans to expand into other areas and regions in the very near future.
This role will suit an individual who has experience of working collaboratively to successfully lead positive change and improvement in primary schools. It provides a great opportunity for anyone who wishes to utilise their skills, knowledge, and experience to work with committed colleagues throughout the trust to lead genuine transformation across our family of primary schools.
Working collaboratively with the Chief Executive Officer, all members of the Executive Leadership Team and wider school leaders, the successful candidate will contribute to the trust’s overall strategic direction, ensuring effective communication, leadership, and enactment of Nova’s vision for excellence and school transformation.
Driving and further developing our ongoing strategy for primary improvement, the post-holder will build on the current achievements of our schools providing rigorous quality assurance, professional development, support, advice, and guidance that enables our academies to succeed and, as a result, transform the lives of all the children and communities they serve.
