Executive Principal

This is a trust-wide executive post leading school improvement across six secondary schools and two alternative provision academies, working alongside their principals rather than in a single school. The core work is raising standards, building leadership capacity in principals and senior teams, and helping shape the trust's five-to-ten-year strategy, including inclusion and SEND. It suits an experienced headteacher or principal, with regular travel between schools across the region.

Visa sponsorship is not available.
