Principal

About this role

Northern Education Trust and Frederick Nattrass Primary Academy are
seeking to appoint a talented, inspirational leader with proven success in
raising standards, developing staff and driving continuous
improvement.

The academy was judged good
for overall effectiveness by Ofsted in May 2016. It had an upgraded inspection
in May 2025 and it continues to be a good school.

The academy has a positive praise culture built on high expectations
where everyone feels valued and supported; a strong curriculum in all subject
areas; a dedicated, supportive Senior Leadership Team with a passion for
excellence; a full complement of experienced, committed teachers and support
staff; motivated, bright, articulate children with impeccable behaviour and
excellent attitudes to learning and extremely supportive parents and school
community who want the best for their children.

This is an exciting time for a motivating and dynamic leader to continue
the academy’s journey to excellence. We are seeking a leader that values clear
communication with a relentless focus on high standards who puts what is best
for children at the centre of decision making. The successful candidate
will have the drive to achieve the best possible outcomes for our young people
and future generations. Reporting directly to the Executive Principal, you will
be responsible for providing strategic leadership and a continued focus on high
outcomes for all. This will be underpinned by our vision ‘We constantly focus
on standards as we understand outcomes are paramount. Our decision making is
driven entirely by what is best for our children. By doing this, we enhance the
life chances of the children and young people in our care’.

We require a strong, inspirational leader who is an outstanding primary
practitioner and who has a proven track record of raising attainment and
progress. You must have the passion, drive and commitment to develop the
academy further, building upon what has already been achieved. You will join a
friendly and supportive family of academies with access to a network of leaders
for shared best practice; a team of professionals who work collaboratively with
a wide network of experienced senior leaders and specialist directors and be
part of regular networking meetings to enhance collaborative learning
opportunities further.
