What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking a high calibre middle leader with a clear understanding and vision for a knowledge rich curriculum; with an emphasis on implementation, to achieve the best possible outcomes. We require someone who can motivate, inspire and excite students and staff. We are looking for a leader who can align team members by providing both support and challenge.
In May 2023 Padgate Academy was judged to be ‘good’ in all categories by Ofsted. We are determined to progress the school further but need the very best leaders and teachers to do so. Our PRIDE values (positivity, resilience, integrity, determination and endeavour) underpin what we do on a daily basis.
Applications from experienced leaders with a proven track record are welcome. Applications will be considered from candidates who wish to apply for this role on a job share basis. Our commitment to staff wellbeing is as strong as our dedication to student achievement, creating a community where everyone can flourish. At Padgate we offer personalised CPD, feedback is prioritised over marking, high levels of support in regards to workload and wellbeing and a two week October half term.
