Chesterton Community College in Cambridge is a high-performing secondary school with a strong reputation for academic excellence and inclusive education.
This is a rare and exciting opportunity to lead an outstanding school at the heart of one of the region’s highest performing Trusts, while also shaping excellence across the wider system.
This role combines full-time leadership of Chesterton with strategic trust-wide influence, including driving best
practice across the Eastern Learning Alliance (ELA) and contributing to external outreach and national programmes. Examples include Chesterton’s work as a DfE Attendance & Behaviour Hub and the Trust’s involvement in the DfE’s RISE initiative, where ELA acts as a supporting organisation and the CEO serves as a RISE adviser, as well as developing broader work in sharing best practice regionally and nationally to support schools in improving outcomes for disadvantaged students. It is an exceptional opportunity for an educational leader who is passionate about school improvement at scale, collaborative innovation, and delivering world-class outcomes for all.
