The College Academies Trust was created with the core purpose of transforming learning and providing the highest quality education for the young people of Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire. In four years of operation, we have invested heavily in our academies to develop learning environments for the 21st century and staffing of the highest calibre. As a result, our academies, one primary, two secondaries and two studio schools, are improving rapidly and gaining a reputation for providing academic challenge and opportunity combined with the highest standards of pastoral care.

We are now seeking an Executive Principal who is passionate, creative and visionary with the outstanding leadership skills necessary to drive further improvement and make a difference to the life chances of our young people. This is a unique opportunity to continue the rapid progress achieved so far and to build on the solid foundations laid down.

The successful candidate will have previous experience of school improvement at Principal or Headteacher level and will be able to demonstrate a clear understanding of strategic and financial management.
