Vice Principal

We are proud of our strong culture, high expectations and commitment to ensuring every young person leaves us ready to succeed in further education, employment and life. At CTS, we are passionate about developing the most employable young people in Corby through excellent education, meaningful opportunities and a genuine belief that every student can achieve extraordinary things.

We are seeking an outstanding, values-led leader with a passion for educational excellence. While this role sits within our Quality of Education team, we deliberately have flexibility around the exact responsibilities. Whether you are at your strongest leading curriculum and teaching, driving staff development, and developing the curriculum, or using data and assessment to secure exceptional outcomes, we are open-minded about the precise portfolio.

Our priority is finding the right leader. We will therefore work with the successful candidate to build a portfolio that plays to their strengths while complementing the skills and experience of the wider senior leadership team. Working closely with colleagues across the school, you will inspire and develop staff, champion high standards, and help create the conditions in which both teachers and students can thrive and achieve their very best.

CTS is a fast-paced and forward-thinking school that embraces change when we believe it will make a genuine difference to students and staff. We value innovation, professional curiosity and leaders who are willing to challenge convention, think creatively and help shape the next stage of our journey. We strongly encourage prospective applicants to visit the school and experience first-hand the culture, ambition and opportunities that make CTS such a rewarding place to work.

Our Trust was formed more than 30 years ago with a simple and clear mission - to transform educational performance in all of our communities. Working in some of the most challenging contexts, we improve our students’ achievements by making long term commitments to the community and championing new approaches to improve the life chances for young people.

Our members of staff are essential to realising this vision, and a happy, motivated and supported team will deliver the best possible experiences for our young people.

We place great emphasis on creating a supportive and collaborative working environment in all our schools, where all staff can share best practice through our colleague networks. Brooke Weston Trust staff have access to first class professional development through our Centre for Professional Development, which is also home to the Northamptonshire Teaching School Hub.

We want our staff to reflect the communities we serve. Brooke Weston Trust is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds.

We are committed to creating a workplace where everyone is treated with respect, feels valued, and can be themselves.
