Are you looking for your next challenge?

We are looking for a Vice Principal to add to our leadership capacity, vision and expertise in delivering a remarkable education to the children of Hamford Primary Academy.

It's remarkable what a difference exceptional teaching and learning can make. Take KS1 as an example, it's no secret that having a clear focus and strategy for improvements across KS1 makes a huge difference to achievement overall across all key stages.

As a driven, focussed leader, your track record of improving results will make you perfect for this role. You will know clearly what the strategy looks like but more importantly you will be able to deliver the strategy to see marked improvements.

It's no small task, which is why you will have the full support of our Education team behind you. All in all it will enable you to successfully lead change to make the improvements necessary to drive up standards. And with this enable our students to 'find their remarkable'.

You will:

Bring experience of driving and achieving impact through collaborative and inclusive communication
Have strategic and tactical leadership whilst having the ambition and determination to help lead Hamford Primary Academy through its next stage of development.
Believe in inclusion and achievement for all children
Will embrace our whole school values of happy, helpful and honest
Be committed to wanting the very best for our children
Have a passion for learning and high expectations of children's achievement and behaviour
Offer a wealth of experience across EYFS & KS1 Curriculums, both from a teaching, assessment and outcome focused perspective
Have excellent communication, interpersonal and organisational skills
Be a strong team member who will work in partnership with staff, governors, parents and the wider community
Be reflective and take responsibility for their own professional development
The right candidate for the role will be non-class based but will have teaching responsibility across the school as deemed necessary by the Principal.

We offer:

A caring academy with a strong ethos of inclusion and providing the best opportunities for our children
A professional challenge

The chance to make a significant contribution to the future achievement and success of our academy
Excellent career prospects across the network, with a culture of looking to promote from within
