What skills and experience we're looking for
Brigantia Hill Fort Primary Academy is to be a new primary school within the Brigantia Learning Trust created from the amalgamation of Concord Junior Academy and Wincobank Nursery and Infants Academy. This is subject to a Significant Change application and approval by the Department for Education. Concord and Wincobank have always been focused on raising ambitions, developing passions and creating memorable experiences for our young people. Together, as Brigantia Hill Fort Primary Academy, our vision will be to create an outstanding education for every one of our children.
We are part of the Brigantia Learning Trust and focused on changing life chances and securing social mobility and justice for those in our community. Social cohesion and a strong moral purpose underpin our approach. As pioneers of 2 – 19 education within Sheffield, we are determined to break the link between context and achievement. They deserve nothing less.
You may be a Deputy looking for the first opportunity to lead an academy. Alternatively, you could be an experienced Headteacher looking for a new challenge and a setting that matches your values.
Either way, you will share our values and be excited by the prospect of leading a newly created academy within a Trust committed to inclusion, ambition and equity.
