We are delighted to be appointing an experienced aspirational leader to join our trust secondary leadership team as Headteacher of Iveshead School at this very exciting time for Mowbray Education Trust. We are a family of schools dedicated to providing children with a first-class education. Based in Leicestershire and reaching far beyond, our settings support pupils throughout their education journey, providing them with the skills and knowledge to thrive and make a positive impact on society. Mowbray Education Trust is a successful and growing multi-academy trust with 535 staff in total, 201 of whom are teachers, and just over 3300 pupils.

Our vision is to deliver first-class teaching and learning with integrity. This means that every young person attending our schools, regardless of background or ability, receives a first-class education. Our common values of inclusivity, aspiration and collaboration underpin all that we do and ensure we hold one another accountable for delivering an outstanding education experience.

The Headteacher of Iveshead will play a crucial role in supporting the development of our secondary phase, working collaboratively across the secondary leadership team within the culture of the Trust and sharing accountability for the performance and success of the secondary schools. The successful candidate will be an inspirational leader who has the creativity, courage and commitment to enable staff and students to achieve and who has a track record of leading change and improvement.

Much of our most recent success, we attribute to identifying, attracting and retaining people with humility, warmth and the potential to be brilliant. If you are an inspirational leader with an ability to motivate others to develop a culture of high expectations and are interested in taking a key role, not only in our Trust, but in shaping the future of education, we can’t wait to hear from you.
