The successful candidate’s role is to support the Principal in embedding the ethos of aspiration, success and high standards in every area of academy life, ensuring that the vision and values of the academy are shared and acted upon by staff and students, and are understood by parents and the wider community. The Senior Leadership Team are supportive and collaborative and continually challenge themselves, and each other, to improve further. The responsibilities of the role will be determined based on the needs of the academy and the skills and experience of the successful applicant. The successful candidate will lead directly, or indirectly on one, some of the following areas:
· Curriculum, including the wider curriculum and timetable.
· Pastoral Care, which includes behaviour, student wellbeing, safeguarding and inclusion.
· Assessment, including external and internal examinations.

You will support the day-to-day smooth running of the academy and work alongside the Principal, and the Senior Leadership Team, to seek to make continuous improvements to an already outstanding academy.
The Principal invites applications from candidates who are confident, innovative, well-organised, lead by example, inspire staff at all levels, have demonstrable experience in a high performing SLT, and put children at the heart of everything they do. You will not accept that ‘good’ is ‘good enough’.
If you are passionate about innovative education, have a commitment to personal excellence and are ready for a new challenge, we welcome your application.
