Headteacher | Elements Academy | Ethos Academy Trust

This is a rare chance to shape a growing special school that supports children and young people with social, emotional and mental health needs across Key Stages 2-4.

Elements Academy opened in 2022 and now provides 170 places for pupils with EHCPs. The school is built on nurture principles. Staff offer personalised teaching, targeted pastoral support and a curriculum designed to build resilience, confidence and ambition. Elevate, our new KS4 provision, expands this mission with a tailored pathway that prepares students for adulthood.

We are looking for a leader with drive, clarity and moral purpose. Someone who will set ambitious standards for staff and pupils, build strong relationships, raise achievement, secure excellent teaching and ensure pupils have a rich, positive school experience.

You will work closely with the CEO, Trust Executive Team and Board of Trustees to deliver our shared vision. You will lead school improvement with precision and pace, champion strong safeguarding practice and promote a culture where pupils feel safe, respected and valued.
