We recently welcomed Cage Green Primary School as the sixth primary school in the Connect Schools Academy Trust (CSAT).
At CSAT, we believe in the use of true partnership to do our very best for every child in our care. CSAT has a collaborative trust vision and clear values as well as a strong moral purpose to ensure every child within the trust has access to a forward thinking education of the highest quality.
We know that our staff are our greatest asset in realising this vision, and whilst Cage Green is very much still on the journey to Good, we now need a highly motivated and skilled individual to lead this dedicated team on the next part of the journey.
As well as having day to day responsibility for leadership and management of the mainstream school and additionally resourced provision, the successful candidate will work closely with the Trust to ensure Cage Green maintains a rapid pace of improvement to achieve a Good Ofsted grading (through Ofsted or internal review) within the next year.
We have high expectations for Cage Green, and its ethos both encourages and promotes the best traditional values. Achieving high levels of english and maths for all our pupils continues to be a key priority for the school, but our commitment to encouraging the children to “work hard“, “be kind“ and “make friends“ provides us with an important focus for developing the whole child.

The successful candidate will be joining an energetic and successful organisation, and we are seeking outstanding candidates who want to develop themselves to support high quality education within the clear vision of the Trust.
Can you show us that;
You can support the development of a clear vision that is embraced by all?
You have the passion to focus relentlessly on what is best for our pupils?
You have experienced in creating a dynamic team who understand the true meaning of high quality provision?
You are a knowledgeable, highly driven and forward thinking leader who is able to promote new and innovative ideas?
You have the skills to support the provision of a high quality education for the children in our additional resourced provision?
You are committed to achieving the best for each and every pupil, irrespective of their starting points?
You are able to provide strong and supportive leadership within an ambitious organisation?
If you can answer yes to all of these, points, and you are an outstanding teacher with a resilient character and strong personal drive, then you might be the person we are looking for!
In return, we can offer:
Genuine investment in your professional development and future career
The opportunity to contribute to the development of an exciting, forward-thinking organisation and to the development of trust wide initiatives
Peer to peer networking, collaboration, and challenge in a truly supportive working environment.
