Are you an experienced secondary Headteacher with a proven track record of success? Are you hungry for your next leadership challenge?

We are keen to recruit a senior leader with demonstrable school improvement experience, who is deeply committed to our vision of earned autonomy for our headteachers. You will need to possess the

leadership depth and maturity to facilitate and grow the success of others, and the ability to significantly flex your leadership style to provide bespoke support and challenge to headteachers in their own journey towards excellence.

We can offer you an exciting career path with opportunities for further progression in the future.

If you are a creative, collaborative and tenacious leader who has experience of building teams and devising systems to drive the high performance of both pupils and staff, we look forward to receiving your application.

Interested candidates are welcome to contact Suzanne Dickinson, Director of Secondary, for an informal discussion. Please email suzanne.dickinson@swale.at so that arrangements for an initial telephone call or Google Meet can be made.

Information about the trust

Since its creation in September 2010 Swale Academies Trust has become a strong and successful school improvement service, specialising in taking schools in Ofsted category and turning them into good schools. A glance at the most recent Ofsted reports for Westlands Primary School, Meopham School, The North School, Regis Manor School and The Sittingbourne School, will all point to the effectiveness of the Trust in bringing about change and providing and enabling excellent leadership. First and foremost Swale Academies Trust is about the provision and development of high quality leadership and management.

We don’t seek to develop clone schools that deliver education in a regimented manner. Rather, we value the development in our schools of a spirit of enquiry and action research that provides the best possible education that is right for pupils in a local setting. We do however collectively value and strive for all pupils to produce beautiful work which showcases their development over time of which they, their teachers and support staff and parents can be really proud. We are proud of our schools and we strive for a sense of shared pride in the achievements of all of our students.

Our ambition is driven by enabling schools and children to succeed. We have a wide range of excellent and highly accomplished senior leaders who lead with a sense of purpose, charisma and a set of shared values. The Trust is fortunate to be overseen by a Board of Directors who share leaders’ values and who provide the highest quality challenge and support.
