Required for September 2023 (or earlier if possible)
We are seeking to appoint a talented, driven and visionary Director of Primary Education to work alongside the CEO and with all school leaders , to support the delivery of the best possible provision for all Primary age pupils within our Trust. The Director will, through careful balancing of challenge and support, enable us to ensure each one achieves their potential, regardless of starting point. This post holder will play a key and significant role in the future development of the Trust as we undergo our next phase of growth, which will include acting as the Trust lead for the establishment of our first Primary Free School, as well acting as Deputy CEO.
Dales Academies Trust is a successful and growing Church of England Multi-Academy Trust which provides a home for both Church schools and Community schools.? Dales currently comprises thirteen Primary schools ranging from very small rural to two form entry urban settings, as well as one 11-16 Secondary. In September 2024 the Trust will open a Primary phase Free School in North Northallerton and is currently in discussions with a number of other schools interested in joining our family of settings. Our schools are currently located across the northern part of North Yorkshire and Stockton.
We aim to live out our tag line of ‘Together for Excellence’ in practice and at all times and are committed to the principles of appropriate accountability seen as a framework in which to achieve excellence for all. Our Vision as a group of schools is that:
“Working together for excellence, and rooted in quality, collaboration and care, we deliver exceptional learning experiences through inspirational teaching and nurturing a love of life-long learning. We dare greatly, travel hopefully and enable each other to flourish.”
For our church schools, this Vision is biblically underpinned by our Trust wide commitment to:
Quality
Colossians 3:23
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.”
Collaboration
Galatians 6:10a
“So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all.”
Care
John 13:34
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you.”
The successful candidate will be a credible leader of school improvement who has had significant experience of developing and implementing plans that have led to improved outcomes. They will have worked in a range and variety of contexts and settings and will have achieved these improved outcomes through empowering and guiding others as well as through direct personal action. They will be an inspirational leader who models the behaviour they expect of others and capable of building sustainable structures and strategies. Equally comfortable working on their own, in small groups or across the entire Trust Primary staff, they will identify as an innovator, a lateral thinker who has an eye for detail but the ability to see the bigger picture, and is at all times driven to achieve the best for the pupils within our schools.
As a Trust we can offer:
• a working environment with a strong sense of community and moral purpose.
• hard working pupils.
• a dedicated staff, committed to achieving the best outcomes for their pupils, through high quality pastoral care and Teaching & Learning.
• a supportive Governance structure.
• a wide range of professional development opportunities.
• unlimited support for leaders in their pursuit of excellence.
• strong partnerships with a range of organisations, including the dioceses of Leeds and York.
The skill set we have laid out for this post is both extensive and diverse. Impact in your current role is important but so is your educational vision and philosophy. If you feel you have the right combination of experience and vision we would be very interested to hear from you.
The successful post holder will be line managed by the CEO of Dales Academies Trust.
Interested candidates can request an application pack by visiting our website, Dales Academies Trust or emailing the Trust, recruitment@dalesmat.org.
