Could your inspiring leadership establish and shape a new primary school?

Do you have a proven track record of achievement in education to pursue this exciting challenge?

This is a rare and highly unique opportunity for a person with passion, vision and excellent leadership skills to set up, open and lead a new primary school. You’ll be able to put your ideas into action and create an exemplar model of education to form a school that you can be proud of.

New Generation Schools Trust is partnering with local businesses and organisations to open Hope Community School from September 2017, which will be at the heartbeat of the community. A school that will increase children’s aspirations, encourage a spirit of adventure and maximise each child’s talents and gifts.

You will be fully supported along the way and will work collaboratively with the New Generation Schools Trust and the local governing bodies to assist, challenge, inspire and resource a team to achieve aspirational outcomes for all of the pupils.

Hope Community School has the vision of being a strong school with a community of pupils, parents and teachers determined to achieve success. Do you have the enthusiasm, passion and drive to support the schools as we grow into a Multi-Academy Trust?

If you are an aspirational, highly motivated leader with excellent communication skills then we want to hear from you. We also welcome applications from colleagues working as a co-head team.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment and to undergo appropriate checks, including enhanced DBS checks.
