• Be an effective line manager with the ability to challenge and support subject leaders appropriately.
• Has a proven track record of successfully improving student outcomes and;

The successful candidate will work alongside a newly appointed Principal (recruitment for that post is also in hand) and therefore this post is crucial in the next phase of the Academy’s improvement journey with the senior leadership of Millbrook.
