Job overview

Hinde House Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) is a dynamic and developing partnership between Hinde House 3-16 School, Concord Junior School and Wincobank Nursery and Infants School. Our Trust is currently responsible for approximately 1700 pupils and over 200 staff across 4 sites in Sheffield.
We are determined to provide all our pupils with an outstanding education that will provide the best platform for their successful futures through shared values and local accountability. As a trust, we plan to grow Hinde House MAT in both size and influence - to become a beacon of learning across the City of Sheffield and beyond.
Concord Junior School and Wincobank Nursery and Infants School are both vibrant and lively schools, closely connected to our local community. Across both schools we celebrate many cultures, languages and traditions and take inspiration from our diverse community.
As the trust develops, we are looking to appoint two exceptionally talented leaders to build on our successes and help each school grow to become individually successful and as a collective, truly inspirational. In both schools you will find passionate and committed staff, engaged and supportive parents, and pupils who behave well and are eager to achieve.
Each school faces particular challenges and both are on significant improvement journeys which require ongoing support to reach the standards our community rightly expect. As a trust, we are committed to improving our teaching and learning at every level and therefore the attainment and progress of all pupils; we need leaders who will guide each school forward, shaping and implementing a sustainable and aspirational plan which is reflective of our ambition as a Trust.
Hinde House MAT is at the beginning of an exciting journey and these two appointments will be crucial in making our vision a reality. In joining the Trust, you will have the unique opportunity to take an autonomous leadership role within a new and evolving MAT - creating a lasting and positive legacy in Sheffield.
