TKAT (The Kemnal Academies Trust) is one of the largest Multi-Academy Trusts in the South of England with over 40 Primary and Secondary Academies in the TKAT Family.

We are currently looking for a Headteacher who will use their leadership experience to ensure that our small primary school continues to develop and remains at the heart of its community.

Smarden is a small, highly regarded and popular village primary school situated in the heart of the beautiful Kent countryside.  Our school has a very strong sense of community, with friendly children who have a positive approach to learning, supported by parents who are engaged closely with the work of the school.  You will find the Governing Body effective, enthusiastic and supportive.

This is an exciting opportunity for a leader who can convincingly demonstrate that s/he will work with the governing body to determine a clear and inspiring vision and supporting strategy with a track record of:

  • Raising educational standards
  • Improving the quality of teaching and learning
  • Setting high expectations for self and others
  • Wanting the very best for all pupils
  • Being highly self-motivated and making a real difference to children’s lives
  • Working collaboratively to get the very best out of all members of the school community

At Smarden we believe that all children thrive in an environment in which they are happy, challenged and secure: secure in the knowledge they are safe and cared for; challenged to achieve their best; and happy in the knowledge they are each appreciated for their individuality and their achievements.

In addition, TKAT offers Headteachers earned autonomy over the strategy and direction of their schools, excellent school-to-school support from the centre and on-going professional development.

If you would like an initial and confidential conversation about this role, please contact Gianni Bianchi, Regional Executive Director for TKAT East Region by telephone 0796 0025398 or by email gianni.bianchi@tkat.org.
