Headteacher - CE Academy

CE Academy enables and provides effective education and support for students out of school and for whom attendance at their previous school is inappropriate. This support is determined by each student’s particular needs and circumstances. The positive expectation of behaviour and performance of each pupil fosters an atmosphere of mutual respect between students and staff.

Through a mixture of GCSE and appropriate vocational examinations students are encouraged to do their best to prepare themselves for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.

We are looking for a Headteacher who is highly passionate about delivering the most appropriate and positive learning experience for all students. The colleague appointed will be able to recognise the importance of giving all young people the freedom to choose a different future, promoting an ethos and culture built on fairness, equality and mutual respect. This provides an environment in which young people can be encouraged and supported to make the right choices which lead to positive outcomes.
