Leadership Scale L18 - L22
Easter 2015 or September 2015 Start
We need your vision, drive & determination to help us in our journey towards "Outstanding" at our smaller than average, flourishing and over-subscribed riverside Academy.
You will play a central role within our Senior Leadership Team; providing vision & operational deliverance on matters such as curriculum, data & standards and teaching & learning. You will utilise the best of your talents whilst developing personally within a dedicated and experienced group of senior leadership colleagues.
Ormiston Rivers Academy opened in September 2011 and was identified by Ofsted as a "Good" school in July 2013. Since then, the Academy has continued to grow and in 2014 received an award in recognition of being in the top 10% of schools nationally for value-added. Our Academy is recognised as being well on course to achieving "Outstanding" at its next Ofsted inspection and is supported in this aim by our sponsor, Ormiston Academies Trust. All Ormiston academies share the OAT ethos of: ensuring every child reaches their full potential; being aspirational and committed to academic excellence and being supportive yet courageous in its approach.
This is a key, strategic role within the Academy and we are committed to recruiting a candidate who shares our vision and who views the post as a positive progression in their career. Prospective candidates are invited and encouraged to contact us for an informal appointment to tour the school and meet the Principal.
We can offer you:
Ø First class, state-of-the art facilities, following our recently completed £10.75 million rebuild and refurbishment programme;
Ø A dedicated, fully-subscribed sixth form facility;
Ø Superb partnership opportunities, both within the Ormiston family and throughout Essex and with organisations such as PiXL and The Brilliant Club;
Ø An excellent platform for enhanced career development with a rich programme of professional development and innovative collaborations
Ø Friendly, supportive and enthusiastic colleagues
Ø Committed students who are keen to learn and who understand the value of the education being provided by the Academy
