Lead Practitioner

We are part of Kent-based Valley Invicta Academies Trust, and are proud of our high expectations in terms of student conduct, attitudes and academic standards.

Having started our school improvement journey under new leadership in September 2019, and following our experiences with Coronavirus since March 2020, we are committed to driving up standards and supporting our students with their learning post-lockdown.  We are very keen to expand our leadership and our teaching teams, so that we can offer the very best for our students as they identify gaps in their learning and strive for future successes, and we are looking to recruit high-calibre colleagues who will join us on our exciting and fulfilling next steps.

What areas of specialism are we looking for?

We are looking to expand our Lead Practitioner team with the right experienced practitioner; colleagues with passion and drive for excellence, an eye for detail and an influential manner that will inspire teachers and students alike.

Our Lead Practitioners will help us to embed the changes we have already made, whilst propelling us further towards our vision for all-round excellence. 

In your application, to help us to identify your strengths, please identify your own experiences in relation to coaching and supporting others, leading change and driving up pedagogical standards.
