About us

Mater Ecclesiae is a growing Catholic Multi Academy Trust in Preston, Lancashire.  We currently consist of fifteen primary schools and one secondary school.  In line with the Bishop’s vision for schools across the Diocese of Lancaster, when fully formed, we will consist of twenty primary and three secondary schools.

To shape and deliver the next phase of our school improvement strategy, we are looking to appoint a new Primary School Improvement Officer. 

The Role

We are seeking to appoint an individual who has significant experience of school improvement either as a serving Headteacher, Ofsted inspector, senior leader or working in a similar role within a trust or local authority. You will have a strong track record of significantly improving outcomes and building strong improvement cultures.

The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering the school improvement strategy across schools in the primary phase. The role is based in our Trust Headquarters with regular working onsite in our primary schools.

The Primary School Improvement Officer helps to create a culture where every child is encouraged to aim high, treated equally, and supported to achieve their very best. Working closely with our Director of Primary Education, our Headteachers and their school teams, they provide challenge, accountability and support where it’s needed. By focusing on local priorities and continuous improvement, the Primary School Improvement Officer works to raise standards and make sure that every pupil across our Trust has the same opportunity to succeed.
