Small enough to care; big enough to make a positive impact 

We are looking for a dynamic and inspirational Executive Headteacher, who will continue to drive forward the academic standards and ambitions of the federation by proactively leading and inspiring our students and staff.

You will have the vision to take on the challenge of leading our federation to be outstanding in all that we do, by being an exceptional leader to our students, staff and school community, committed to raising standards and further developing our well-behaved hardworking students' learning.

Your track record of contributing at a strategic level to school improvement will also show your ability to work in partnership with a range of stakeholders to achieve desired outcomes and impact.   

Although it is important that you can think strategically, you will also need to adopt a hands-on approach to deal with the diverse demands of school life and will have highly developed communication skills to build effective relationships.

If you have a passion for education then this is a fantastic opportunity to make a significant contribution to the federation and become an integral part of our future success. Our candidate information pack will tell you much more about our federation and this opportunity. 

Visits to our schools are warmly welcomed and encouraged, please call 0191 2371505 to arrange a suitable time. 

It is expected that interviews will be held on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd April, and shortlisted candidates will be required to commit to attending on both days.
