• Provide clear vision and leadership, driving school improvement and strategic development.
• Deliver an inclusive, ambitious curriculum that meets the diverse needs of pupils.
• Raise standards in teaching, learning, behaviour and progress.
• Inspire, support and hold staff to account, fostering a culture of professional growth.
• Build strong partnerships with parents, governors, the Trust and external agencies.
• Ensure effective management of people, resources and safeguarding.
• Act as an ambassador for the school and Trust locally and nationally.

What We Are Looking For:

• An experienced, inspirational leader with a proven track record in special education or similar settings.
• A strategic thinker with resilience, integrity and a “can-do” attitude.
