As Principal, you will be at the forefront of leading the vision for the academy, ensuring every student can reach their full potential. This role demands a leader who is not only driven by the desire to deliver academic success but who also understands the importance of personal growth, wellbeing, and social equity. Comberton Village College has the potential to reach even greater standards of excellence.  

The school is a thriving educational community with skilled and highly committed staff. A key driver is to ensure that there is a broad and high-quality education available to every pupil. The school has established a strong community programme very much in the tradition of Cambridgeshire Village Colleges. Given the size and demands of this role, it would most obviously suit a high-quality candidate who already had some successful school headship experience.    

Comberton has a successful enhanced resource base for young people with autism on site, which aligns with the inclusive ethos of the school. We would seek a leader with the belief that school communities are made richer by diversity and that all pupils benefit from sharing their education with diverse groups of young people. 

This role is perfect for you if:

·         You have a strong track record of leading successful schools

·         You are passionate about education and driven to achieve exceptional outcomes.

·         You possess a clear vision for the future of our school and the ability to inspire others to share that vision.

·         You are a champion of high standards and believe in the power of excellent behaviour and personal development, great teaching, and a rich, ambitious curriculum.

This will be a deeply rewarding position where you will continue to develop a culture of excellence that empowers both pupils and staff and work in partnership with parents and the wider community.

You will be a trust leader as well as a school leader

 As well as leading Comberton Village College, the successful candidate will play an important role as a leader in our Trust. Our principals are key stakeholders when it comes to Trust strategy and decision making. When principals join our team, they become not just leaders of their own school but regional leaders, part of a Trust team that is committed to contributing to rising standards in the sector and region.

We are collaborative and seek to work in meaningful partnership with others. This creates opportunities for our leaders.

We are committed to the professional development of our leaders and have a strong Trust offer for CPD.

If you are an experienced headteacher with strong personal drive, a commitment to both education equity and the highest standards and a passion to make a difference for a community then this could be the right role for you.

Pre-application discussions are welcomed and encouraged. If you would like to find out more about this position or to arrange a visit, please contact Neil Massie at Academicis directly.

We look forward to hearing from you.
