A brilliant opportunity to play a leading role within a new stand-alone multi-academy trust

The Barnfield Academy Trust has, until recently, been sponsored by Barnfield College. However, we became a stand-alone Trust from 1 March and under new leadership we will soon adopt a new name and brand. Our ethos is simple: we will make the most of our unique family of schools to give every child the best possible opportunity to flourish and develop into a decent, disciplined, well-educated and employable young person.

We would like from you:

• Substantial leadership experience and a track record of improvement and impact.
• Experience likely to be gained as a successful Headteacher/Principal/Executive Principal or in a significant wider role in a multi-academy trust, the DfE or Ofsted, for example.
• The determination and confidence to strive for, and achieve, great outcomes for the Trust.
• To play a key role in promoting and developing partnership and collaboration between academies that makes a real difference to how well students achieve. 

We can offer you:

• A unique family of schools: 2 primary, 2 secondary, a Studio School and a Sixth Form.
• Fantastic young people who are “eager to learn and exemplary in their attitudes to their work” (Vale Academy Ofsted, 2014) and who are “hugely proud of their Academy” (West Academy Ofsted, 2014).
• The chance to join a new multi-academy trust that is going from strength to strength.
• A role where you can make an impact and develop your leadership skills
