Kent, United Kingdom The Canterbury Academy Full time

We are looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated and ambitious Head of School to fulfil a truly exciting leadership role within our established, successful and financially sound Academy Trust.

This is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced senior leader to join a popular Academy with an established staff body, and to take it to its next stage of growth development.

The Canterbury Multi-Academy Trust promotes and combines management freedom for senior leaders with secure central support, in order to achieve effective collaboration for success.

As a Trust, we recognise the need to drive standards and to reflect and adapt according to the changing world we live in. We would like a leader who has a genuine interest in the needs of their school community.

We will expect the Head of School to support the further development of a positive culture and ethos, where every child matters and is supported every step of the way.

You will be joining a supportive, committed and passionate team, who work hard to ensure that all of our students achieve their individual and full potential. We are looking for an experienced professional, who can demonstrate strategic leadership and excellent management, and a proven track record of success in raising standards.

This is an exciting time to be joining our leadership team. The Head of School will play a key role in continuing to shape the strategic vision for the Canterbury Academy, reporting directly to the CEO of the Trust. The successful applicant will be a key member of the senior leadership and will have significant autonomy in leading The Canterbury Academy.

This post provides an outstanding career opportunity, to be part of driving the Trust and this school forward, and to play a critical role in the next phase of its development.
