About This Role
The Director of Education will drive educational excellence across the Trust's schools. If appointed, you will ensure that every school within the Trust delivers high-quality education, achieves strong outcomes, and provides an enriching experience for students within the context of our inclusive Christian ethos. We believe each person in our schools is valued, challenged and inspired, because they are made in God’s image and therefore infinitely precious, morally responsible and gifted for a purpose.
The Trust comprises both schools with a religious character designation and those without, and all provide Christian ethos schools of character for the whole community in six areas of significant deprivation. We have the privilege of educating over eight thousand children and young people every day and aspire to grow further.
Our appointment of a Director of Education marks a significant step change in the Trust. We seek a committed and accomplished educational leader to improve pastoral and academic outcomes across the Trust. We are looking for an exceptional educational leader who can bring out the best in us, and we believe this is an exciting opportunity for a talented educationist who shares our commitment to, and belief in, the infinite possibility of the young people we serve.
So, if you share our vision of academic excellence, high pastoral standards, development of character and believe you can take the lead strengthening education by living out and applying our Christian vision, then please get in touch.
Owing to the distinctive character of the organisation, and the specific responsibilities of the role, there is an Occupational Requirement that the post-holder be a practising Christian.
