This is a unique and exciting opportunity to shape a school from its foundation (opened in September 2013), as it develops into an all-through school on its brand new state-of-the-art site. Opportunities like these will be few and far between and will interest those with creative, visionary minds, seeking to inspire a new generation of children by embedding core virtues in every aspect of learning. The journey will have its challenges yet the rewards will be immensely satisfying. Your role will evolve as the school grows. The primary school will be part of an allthrough school from 4-19 whereby pupils can make the transition to our secondary school. Areas of Responsibility and Key Tasks 1.
