About this Role

Welcome to Fosse Multi Academy Trust – a family of schools united by a shared commitment to excellence, inclusion, and opportunity for every learner.

Our Trust places children and young people at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is simple but powerful: to nurture ambition, inspire curiosity, and empower each individual to thrive – academically, socially, and emotionally.

We are also deeply privileged to be part of the Coventry Diocese, which enriches our work with a strong foundation of Christian values, community spirit, and spiritual development, the golden thread that runs through our very special Trust. This partnership strengthens our vision and helps us foster environments where every child is known, loved, and encouraged to flourish.

Across our schools, you’ll find dedicated colleagues, vibrant communities, and a relentless drive to improve. We believe in collaboration over competition, and in the transformative power of education to change lives. Whether you’re a parent, student, colleague, or partner, your journey with us matters – and we’re excited to walk it with you.

We are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff, volunteers and contractors to share this commitment. Safer recruitment practices are followed for all roles, including appropriate background checks, references and right‑to‑work verification. Any appointment will be subject to satisfactory checks in line with our safeguarding policies and UK legislation.

Together, we’re building futures. Thank you for considering to be apart of the Fosse journey.
