Principal - King's Leadership Academy Bolton
The Great Schools Trust is seeking a permanent principal for Kings Leadership Academy Bolton.
We are seeking a leader who is collegiate in style, has presence, gravitas and integrity and who is committed to the continued development of a values led, inclusive 11-16 environment focussed on enhancing the long-term social mobility of its students.
The Trust is keen to build on its successes and continue the quest for outstanding outcomes for all of our students. Therefore, we wish to appoint someone who knows what ‘outstanding’ looks like, and who has the inspirational and organisational qualities to successfully take the academy forward whilst preserving, and further developing, the beliefs, values, mission, culture and community focus of the Great Schools’ educational model.
This is a unique opportunity, and the successful applicant will find this role both challenging and fulfilling as the Trust continues to expand. As principal, you will be expected to build relationships within the town and the region seeking civic partnership opportunities to deliver excellence and security to young people, their families and the wider community.
We are looking for an outstanding educational leader whose values align with those of the Trust. You will be able to demonstrate a sharp focus on inclusivity, the striving for high aspirations for all students irrespective of their background, ethnicity or family wealth and a strong track record of success in your present portfolio.
Whatever your previous experience, the trust will ensure that, if appointed, this post is the right one for you, with real prospects of professional development, career enhancement and personal satisfaction.
The Principal will be a member of the trust’s leadership team whose remit is to further develop the Great Schools Trust’s educational model, share good practice and collaborate on cross-trust projects.
