Set in the heart of Bradford, St Matthew's Primary School and Nursery is a bustling and lively school packed full of amazing children who show tremendous respect towards each other. The school prides itself on serving a diverse community, with children from a wide range of backgrounds, ethnicities, faith and life experiences, representing the community it serves. It is exactly this rich tapestry which makes our school so special.

We are looking for an equally special Academy Business Leader. You will be an Academy Business Leader within the BDAT Family of Schools which means you will have other colleagues to work alongside and a peer network to lean on.
