About the School
We are seeking an Executive Director of Education (Primary) to work alongside the Executive Team. As a key member of our Executive Team, you'll be responsible for improving the quality of provision across the Trust, ensuring that all academies are delivering the highest possible educational provision and achieving excellent outcomes for students. The role of Executive Director of Education (Primary) is critical as we enter the next phase of our development. The postholder will be a “shoulder partner” to our headteachers, senior leaders, and staff teams across our family of schools. They will work closely with our Director of Education (Secondary) and need to understand what school improvement looks like and have a passion for teaching and learning. The ideal candidate should be collaborative, strategic, possess emotional intelligence, have a sense of humour, and be able to effectively coach, mentor, challenge, and support. The postholder will liaise with the leaders of AMP SCITT and co-plan, although not directly part of the team. Many of our staff are members of the Chartered College, and we deliver national professional qualifications in partnership with the Best Practice Network. We also engage in school improvement work beyond the Trust, where our work is recognized by others, including the DfE. This post will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and be reportable to the Board of Trustees, holding overall responsibility for standards and outcomes in our Secondary schools. We are a small Trust that currently works across the Liverpool City Region, with the approval to expand. Currently, we have two large Secondary schools and two Primary Schools. If you share the drive and ambition we have for our students, their families, and the community, then we would like to hear from you.
